How to remove Windows 7 , Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 Watermark from Desktop

In Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008, there are several watermarks the may appear on the corners of desktop to remind what mode or state of Windows operating system is currently running in. For example, “Evaluation Copy” for unactivated Windows, “For testing purpose only” for beta or release candidate software, “Test Mode” when test signing mode is turned on, and “Safe Mode” when user presses F8 to boot into Safe Mode.

Download RemoveWatermark

Current Version: V0.3 released at 2008.12.10
Download Link 1: RemoveWatermark_20081210.zip
Download Link 2: RemoveWatermark_20081210.zip

Note that the ZIP package contains two RemoveWatermark executables, namely RemoveWatermarkX86.exe (for 32-bit x86 system) and RemoveWatermarkX64.exe (for 64-bit x64 system). Run the corresponding program as administrator. There is no need to reboot to Safe Mode as the program can operate in normal mode.

After successful patching and modification, restart the computer for the change to take effect. The original user32.dll.mui (all watermarks is stored in this file) is renamed and backed up to user32.dll.backup. Thus, in the event of any error, and when you decide to restore to original desktop, just go to \Windows\System32\[language folder] to rename back the user32.dll.backup to user32.dll.mui.

Windows 7 Starter Edition details


Windows 7 Starter available worldwide on small notebook PCs. We are also going to enable Windows 7 Starter customers the ability to run as many applications simultaneously as they would like, instead of being constricted to the 3 application limit that the previous Starter editions included.

We believe these changes will make Windows 7 Starter an even more attractive option for customers who want a small notebook PC for very basic tasks, like browsing the web, checking email and personal productivity.

It is important to note that Windows 7 Starter still includes only a subset of the features offered in the higher editions of Windows 7 such as Windows 7 Home Premium, Windows 7 Professional and above. Windows 7 Starter does not include:

  • Aero Glass, meaning you can only use the “Windows Basic” or other opaque themes. It also means you do not get Taskbar Previews or Aero Peek.
  • Personalization features for changing desktop backgrounds, window colors, or sound schemes.
  • The ability to switch between users without having to log off.
  • Multi-monitor support.
  • DVD playback.
  • Windows Media Center for watching recorded TV or other media.
  • Remote Media Streaming for streaming your music, videos, and recorded TV from your home computer.
  • Domain support for business customers.
  • XP Mode for those that want the ability to run older Windows XP programs on Windows 7.
After using Windows 7 Starter out myself on my Dell Mini 9, I loved the advancements that it inherently offered versus Windows XP but also concluded that I wanted more. I like to personalize my Dell Mini 9 the way I want it (because I like showing it off and take it everywhere because it’s so small). I also use it to watch videos and listen to music. Because I also have a portable DVD drive, I also sometimes watch movies on my Dell Mini 9 as well. I believe that the majority of consumers will want a version of Windows 7 – like Home Premium - that will make their small notebook capable of all the things that you could do with an “traditional” PC, like playing movies, working with documents, listening to music, working with photos, and even playing games.
