  ^^ You can disable it by opening Registry Editor and going to following key:

  HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop

  In right-side pane, delete "PaintDesktopVersion" or set its value to 0

  Hi VG thanks for answer me,

  I tried with

  HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\"PaintDesktopVersion"

  I set the value to 0 and Turn off (not restart) and still not working.

  I also change HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Desktop\"PaintDesktopVersion"

  I set the value to 0 Turn off and still not working.

  I deleted the Reg HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\"PaintDesktopVersion"
  Turn off again and still not working.

  I deleted the Reg HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Desktop\"PaintDesktopVersion"
  Turn off again and still not working

  I downloaded a program that does this function for you, called "Tweak UI" you can select the option or not "Show Windows Version on desktop" but still not working.

  I google about it and i read about this file that has some user dialog User32.dll i tried editing with the resource hacker but I read nothing about the version of windows inside the file.

  I read on the Internet that can not be changed if your Windows It's not original or it's the trial version, my version it's original i have the CD i just downloaded the Service Pack 3 from the Microsft page so i think this it's not the problem.

  I found a temporary solution, Right click on the desktop>Properties>desktop>Customize desktop...>Web and click "Lock desktop items", This works but the icons on the desktop have a colored border and i can change the color of the borders but look kinda ugly if i change the icons to 48x48 pixel look better but still ugly for me, i can't change more for now, i don't think i would change this for the reg method because i see the watermark like 5 seconds before the logon screen appears and before Windows load the 90% of the archives i'm not expert but i think i need delete or edit a file in the Windows folder but, how can i know wich is? so if you know another way or where is the file with this text i estimate it to tell me lol

  Note: That happened to me after i install the Service Pack 3, and Before the bootscreen appears i see a list of many files loading by the system but it's very fast like 1.3 seconds so it's hard to see,and after the bootscreen loaded i see a blue screen what say "searching in C:\ the C:\ it's clean Starting Windows" and just here is when i see the watermark of the version lol like 4 seconds before the logon screen appears i don't know if any of those things has anything to do with the watermark but is the newest visual changes when turn on my computer after i install the Service Pack 3,i have the 32bit version, sorry for my English and if was hard to understand.

  ^^ It seems you have installed a beta or rc version of SP3. Its not the final version. All beta versions shows that watermark on Desktop. I advise you to download and install the final version of SP3.
