Remove Windows 7 watermark

Updated: This method works for both Windows 7 32-bit, and 64-bit version.
After downloaded and installed successful Windows 7 RC1 build 7100 today, the most annoying thing is a watermark “Windows 7 Evaluation Copy. Build XXXX” at the bottom right on desktop.
So, here is how you can remove it:
1. Download W7_RemoveWatermark.zip (2097) and extract to a Folder.
2. Run RemoveWatermarkX86.exe for 32bit or run RemoveWatermarkX64.exe for 64bit.
3. Follow the instruction on the file.
4. Restart the PC.
Enjoys, simple as that. Hope it will work for you.








doesn’t work. this method might work for other builds but not 7100. thanks anyway
I confirm this does not work on build 7100.
It works on mine. You see the screenshot?
Worked on my computer….Cheers
the other patch didn’t work for me… this one did! thanks! =D
(Windows 7 RC1 build 7100 x86)
I’m glad it works for you guys. I forgot where I got this one. I’d have giving the credits to whoever made this little program.
Oh, BTW, you MUST restart your PC to make it work.
Tried it on Windows 7 RC1 build 7100 x64 with no luck. Ran as Administrator and restarted pc……….
It works on x86.
Shame this little fix only seems to work on x86, and not on x64 :s
This actually worked thanks. I downloaded Windows 7 RC1 Build 7100 last week x86 English for the 32 bit system and set the AUC to it’s lowest settings. I ran the file and selected Yes when asked and followed the propmts that said the watermark was removed. The watermark still remains until you reboot, then it is gone. I am currently dual booting with a preinstalled Vista 32 bit and for Some reason both Vista and W7 both show themselves as the C: Drive when each is used. Go figure.
I think you love dark color
Yes, indeed.
UPDATED: This will work for both 32 and 64bit Windows 7 RC1 7100 version. Enjoys.
