Hello MxC!

 

Do you have unoriginal version of your windows xp / vista and you have this notification of Windows Genuine that annoys you??

 

Here is the solution how to delete it !

 


 

STEP 1 :

 

Click on Start>My Computer.

 


 

STEP 2 :

 

Type the following text into the address bar at the top of the page C:\WINDOWS\system32

 


 

STEP 3 :

 

Locate the file called WgaTray or WgaTray.exe and click on it once.

 


 

STEP 4 :

 

Press the shift+delete keys (this combination will automatically delete the files completely off your PC instead of to the Recycle Bin) but don’t confirm the deletion yet.

 


 

STEP 5 :

 

Right click on a non-occupied area of the taskbar and select Task Manager.

 


 

STEP 6 :

 

Click on the Processes tab at the top.

 


 

STEP 7 :

 

Select the process called WgaTray.exe and click the end process button at the bottom and click yes to confirm the process termination.

 


 

STEP 8 :

 

Confirm the delete of the WgaTray that you semi-deleted earlier (this must be done almost immediately after the process termination because it will re-open itself quickly so it’s a good idea to have the deletion confirmation window open behind the task manager for fast access).

 


 

STEP 9 :

 

Restart your PC.

 


 

STEP 10 :

 

In the system32 folder that was opened earlier, find and select the file called WgaLogon.dll and drag it into the Recycle Bin (located on the Desktop).

 


 

STEP 11 :

 

Empty your Recycle Bin.

 


 

STEP 12 :

 

Restart your PC and the Windows Genuine Advantage Notifications Tool shouldn’t run anymore so now you have completely hassle free Windows XP usage.

 


 

Done!

 

Have Fun ;)

More easy reinstal your windows xp and voila. And disable update windows.Anyway is good your steps thanks man.

You know you could just choose "download updates but don't install them for me" and then choose not to install the genuine update. And the tick the "never remind me again" thing? I suppose this would work.
