Download http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/w/images/4/40/DisableFirstStartWzd_ooo32.oxt and save in C:\. 1. Open the Command prompt as administrator user. 2.

Oops, a little error in Step to reproduce. 2. Type "C:\Program Files (x86)\OpenOffice.org 3\program\unopkg.exe" add --shared C:\DisableFirstStartWzd_ooo32.oxt. Sorry.
Something for the extension owner. Not an 'installation' problem. I don't find that extension in the extension repository. I doubt that this extension is officially supported.
The extension owner may mark the extension in the wiki, or the extension itself with his name, to avoid further guessing about the origin ;-) or upload it to the extension repository. Guessing form the last uploader it might be kkoll -> reassigned
