Guest dm Posted August 1, 2007 Posted August 1, 2007 How do I remove? While on the Microsoft site trying to fix another problem I inadvertently did something to display "Windows XP Home Edition" and " Build.....(Service Pack 2)" in white type on the lower left of my desktop just above the system tray. I can't for the life of me remember what page this was on!!! Its really annoying and I would like to remove it. Any idea?

You need to use TweakUI XP to get rid of this. Get it from here if you don't have it:- http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/xppowertoys.mspx Install it & run it & select "General" Scroll down to the bottom of the options displayed by "General" Deselect "Show Windows version on desktop" & click OK. The Windows version will be deleted after you log off & on again or restart Windows. Mike.

From TweakUI: - Left side, Select General - Right side, scroll down and uncheck "Show window version on desktop" - Click OK From Regedit: - Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop - Right side, double-click PaintDesktopVersion and set it to 0 - Restart explorer Good Luck, Ayush. -- XP-Tips [Create a keyboard shortcut to open a folder] : http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/setup/tips/foldershortcut.mspx
