PaintDesktopVersion not working

[hunter1234]

I have been using the SP3 beta build 2195 for about a while now, and my desktop was clean of the desktop version number thing. Now out of no where, it shows up. I can't remove it at all, in the registry, PaintDesktopVersion is already set to 0, and tweak ui "show desktop version" is unchecked. I have tried to check and uncheck it, delete the D_WORD and make a new one, but nothing has worked. It is so freaking annoying, is there anyway to remove this?

ya, don't use beta software

[hunter1234]

LOL, don't you have any advice on how to fix it?

Did you reboot after you changed it ?

[hunter1234]

Of course, i attempted this like 5 times, and i still can't remove that annoying piece of ****.

that annoying piece of sh!t comes too when you install WMP9 beta...

if 2000 and XP ... have the same technology and architecture maybe this will work...

create a batch file (*.bat) then paste this:

@echo off

echo Remove sp1 build no from desktop (xpsp1)

echo.

echo this will remove "Testing purposes only" and build number from your desktop

pause

echo.

reg delete HKLMSOFTWAREMicrosoftSystemCertificatesCACertificatesFEE449EE0E3965A5246F000E87FDE2A065FD89D4 /f

reg delete HKLMSOFTWAREMicrosoftSystemCertificatesROOTCertificates2BD63D28D7BCD0E251195AEB519243C13142EBC3 /f

echo.

echo all done, reboot for changes to take effect

pause

try that ok :)

it works for me...
