The RC1 watermark in the right corner is set by user32.dll.mui.

The user32.dll.mui file is situated in your '\Windows\System32\xy-XY' folder (accordingly to your installed language):
on english based systems in 'en-US', german = 'de-DE' [, ...].

Here are 2 solutions to stop this Watermark being displayed:

I.) Modify user32.dll.mui by yourself (for instance with ResourceTuner or similar programs)
or
II.) Replace original user32.dll.mui with a patched one

QUOTE
I.) You intend to modify the file by yourself? Ok, let´s start!

[1.] Create a folder 'C:\user32dll', switch to your '\Windows\System32\xy-XY' folder and copy the user32.dll.mui to your new folder.

[2.] Start ResourceTuner (or a similar program) and navigate to 'c:\user32dll\user32.dll.mui'.
In the treeview panel expand 'String', open Item #45 and modify the strings like in the image below.

Item #45
Attached File  restune_str45.jpg ( 69.82K ) Number of downloads: 6018


Do the same for Item #46 and #47.

Attached File  restune_str46.jpg ( 30.49K ) Number of downloads: 2840
Attached File  restune_str47.jpg ( 34.39K ) Number of downloads: 2660


[3.] After completing all changes save the file and quit ResourceTuner.

That´s all about the modding part..
Now, we want to attach the modified user32.dll.mui to our System.

[4.] In your '\Windows\System32\xy-XY' folder right-click to user32.dll.mui, click on Properties
from the contextual menu select the Security tab.

Attached File  attention.png ( 5.14K ) Number of downloads: 411
Notice: Before you are able to change the permission settings you have to get ownership of the user32.dll.mui file!

[5.] Click on the Advanced button. Click on the Owner tab; change your settings and get ownership of that file.
Now you can edit the permission settings on the Security tab to get full access.
Click the OK button to apply your changes.

[6.] Rename the user32.dll.mui to user32.dll.mui.bak.

[7.] Copy our modified user32.dll.mui to 'Windows\System32\xy-XY', Reboot and Enjoy!

----------------------------

II.) Download the modified user32.dll.mui and run steps 4.-7.

Download English Version

Download French Version

Download German Version

As Spooky says - there is NO watermark in the RTM version of Vista.

If there is then it's obvious what you've done to cause it, so you shouldn't be asking to start with.

Ok then, on the flipside, how would you cause the watermark to appear if you wanted it? On Vista64 RTM. I mean, its not as if its not there, it is, but disabled. I'd like to be able to show my build version.
Anyone know???

Cheers.
