getting rid of Windows Version on the desktop

[Kando]

Hi, hope you can help me with this. I am trying to create an unattended iso and I worked out all the tweaks and settings except for one. I can't get the Windows version to stay off of the screen. I made 4 iso's and in each I unchecked the box that said to show the version on the desktop and each of them ended up with the version on the desktop!

CDR's are cheap and the computer is fast but this is just silly. Why is the version going to the desktop and how can I stop it?

Thanks

Are you using nLite?

Look into changing the following registry entry: 1 enables, 0 disables.

.INF version:

HKCU,"Control Panel\Desktop","PaintDesktopVersion",0x10001,0

.CMD version

Reg.exe ADD "HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop" /v "PaintDesktopVersion" /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f

.REG version:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop]
"PaintDesktopVersion"=dword:00000000

Hello, yes I am using the latest version of nlite.

I will try the fixes and let you know how it goes.

Why is the version going to the desktop and how can I stop it?

Let it default settings. If you do nothing on this option it'll be default settings. My settings bellow (for your kind attention) that I apply and I never see Windows version on desktop.

That is exactly my problem. I leave the box UNCHECKED and the version, build and service pack information still shows up on the desktop. I can make the changes to the registry to fix it, but I was hoping to use this to help out with about 200 computers. Having to make that change on each would be very time consuming.

You do know nLite IS NOT for business or corporate usages right?

It says it right in the license that you agreed to when you installed it.

You deserve to have to fix EACH machine seperatly...

[Kando]

Out of all of the users of nLite in the world, I doubt that I am the only one that is not following the exact letter of the license. My apologies to the authors.

That being said the 200 computers could be the personal computers of a church congregation or the personal computers of my very large extended family. The problem still remains.

[Kelsenellenelvian]

LOL

License:

5. nLite is free for personal use only, you cannot use it for any company or business purposes at this time.

PERSONAL!!! Church does not count as this.... Large extended family?? So you are making 200 disks with seperate license in each one???

GET REAL... You are insulting all of us here and deeply insulting nuhi with your attitude. You are like all of the warez users that claim they harm no-one with their activities.

I desperatly hope you get no further help here...........................................

1 - Your problem is impossible unless you have a "bad" version of nLite (works for me)

2 - I sincerely doubt the IT Manager/Director would allow the use of nLite for Corporate purposes

3 - Nonetheless, a "mass-rollout" of ... 200 Computers???

You'd have been better off keeping your "mouth" shut.

Interesting... No response back then either...

I wonder if he still works for that school.

[Kando]

Matter of fact I do. Yeah, could have stayed quiet, gotten some sort of answer and been gone, but I am an honest sort of guy. Went back over the nliteos.com site and finally found the license, the last question on the contact page. Where did you find it?

Anyway, thanks for the answers, even if it only took 3 years.

[Kelsenellenelvian]

In the programs install folder and on the install page where you click "I agree"

Might I suggest you leave it be while your ahead? A Church may be a "Gray area" I can't verify - that would be up to nuhi. IF Church=School, that's pushing it.

I say, "to be honest", stop quibbling. Be happy and SSHHH! You're pushing it, Sir...

Well, thank you. So now it is back to keeping my mouth shut like the majority of users and figuring it out myself.
