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 can't. It's hardcoded.

> It is really annoying!

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.
