Relatively simple Win2K query

Ok...

seems the MSDN version of Windows 2000 comes with that little "Windows 2000 Pro/ Build # xxxx" message in the bottom right by default.

How do I get rid of it? - It just doesn't fit with my nice background

You couldn't have typed that in plain English?

Anyway... it's at www.magellass.com and it's "for Windows Millennium Edition (Me)/98 Second Edition/98/95".

My query was about Windows 2000.

Thanks... Longfield.

It has the ability to do it though. It's a setting you can change using tweakui for windows 2000. It's an option in General

Only the beta version comes with the build number in the corner, the final release doesn't.

I wasn't asking about that. This was the full release version, received through subscription to MSDN, and it displayed the build number in the bottom right corner as I said.

Amp- thanks for the link.
