Hello all.

I was curious as to what file or registry entry was responsible

for the watermark that remains on all open windows on the

lower right side of the screen on Vista Starter Edition.

& was also wondering if the same applied to XP Starter.

I attatched a small shot to show the mark I mean.

Thanks.!

Yeah thanks, I found that when doing a search.

That post, even though it says to remove the watermark, actually removes

the desktop build tag.

I was looking for the file that has the Starter Edition bitmap in it that

displayed it just when the system has completed booting.

Even XP starter Edition has the same watermark.

I've trolled through the registry & a bunch of files without luck.

Have you tried changing the wallpaper?

Even removed it to show just a black screen.

On both XP & Vista, the Starter Edition watermark shows within the last

3 seconds of completely booting, with all hard drive activity ceasing.

I'm sure over the time of reshacking files, I came accross it once in

the XP version of starter, i'm just buggered if I can remember

which file it was.

I'll work it out eventually, I was thinking of using a program that

displayed all the dll's & whatnot in use whilst no other apps are

open, might find it that way.

Check the usual... explorer, shell32, etc.

open the file user32.dll.mui in Directory C:\Windows\System32\en-US with resource tuner if that verison has it. thats the source for the watermark in earlier version of Windows vista

check the remove watermark in evaluationtutorial for the complete details

delete
