Sp2 message show in the RH corner

[crobertson]

In the right hand lower corner the sp2 message and version always shows and I can't make it go away? Why? I've always had sp2 on this disk. What do I do to turn it off?

[Kiki Burgh]

would you be referring to the SP2 version you have on your machine? if so then you might have enabled: Show version of desktop ... otherwise, it could be the pop-up of authenticity ...

If you want to disable that NOW

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

;--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
;Show Windows Version on Desktop
;(00000000 = disabled, 00000001 = enabled)

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop]
"PaintDesktopVersion"=dword:00000001

Paste that entire thing into a text file and save it as versionoff.reg

Then double click on versionoff.reg and click yes. Then restart.

If you used nlite on your CD, then you need to go back into the tweaks section and find that option (most likely under Desktop) and set it to off, or you can have it apply from RunOnceEx/GUIRunOnce (see unattended.msfn.org for more info on that).
