Getting tired of seeing Windows NT build number? Remove it with the following
Windows 2000 registry hack:
Hive: HKEY_CURRENT_USER
Key: Control
Panel\Desktop\
Name: PaintDesktopVersion
Type: REG_DWORD
Value: 0
Opps! Sorry – this hack does not work on W2K later than RC1.
One method to eliminate the build number is to turn on Active Desktop / Show
Web Content option (right click desktop).
Tweakui has the option to eliminate the
build number:
General|Effects|Show Windows Version on Desktop
