    how do i remove it i found this on the net How do I remove the build number on the desktop? A: For this you will be using the registry and a tool called regedit. Go to run and type "regedit" and hit run. Then naviage to the following: Show Windows Version On Desktop Navigate to the following: Key: HKey_Current_U\Control Panel\Desktop Find the value name: Value Name: PaintDesktopVersion Value Type: REG_DWORD Change it: Set To: 1 to enable, 0 to disable (0 Default) Notes: Displays the current Windows version on top of the desktop wallpaper i found PaintDesktopVersion in 4 places i set them all to 0 but its still there.

      If by the build number you mean the few lines of test written in the bottom right corner, here is how. Download a tool called 'Resource tuner', in your C drive find a file called user32.mui ( there is more than one, choose the one in the correct language folder ). Set the permissions on this file so that you can edit it. Open with resource tuner, open and edit the resource #45 in the string table. Replace lines 710, 715 - 715 with a single space. Save and reboot.

        If the build number is 6.0.6000, it should not be showing by default, and one of these options should work. If the build number is less than 6000, you're still running a beta, RC or CTP, and I don't think it's possible to turn it off in pre-release versions.
