Hi,

You don't, it's hard coded and will be removed only for the final release
version. It's been this way throughout the beta, same as it was for XP.

I was running one Vista build with no version info on the screen (don't know
how I did it or which build - either Pre-RC1, RC1 or RC12 5728). One day I
switched my PC on and there was no build ID on the desktop!

You're second one I've seen in this NG asking how to remove this info
from desktop. But first poster at least had a real reason for that. But
"annoyng"? What can be annoying in this barely-visible text that is
covered by Windows Sidebar by default anyway?..

What I find annoying is when I canet read the last couple of numbers for the
build number because of the side bar. At least I have a second monitor what
displays it well.

And why is my keyboard suddenly Cyrillic Question mark should go here but I
get a E instead.
