Detailed Steps to Disable WGA Notifications

Though for myself, it doesn't mean too much as I didn't undate my Windows XP service package 2 for some time, most still need these steps to uninstalled Microsoft's notorious auto-installed WGA notifications:

1. Log on to the computer by using an account that has administrative permissions.
2. Make sure that the WGA Notifications version that exists on the computer is a pilot version. The version format for the pilot version is 1.5.0532.x. In this case, you can uninstall versions 527-532 only. For example, you can uninstall versions that range from 1.5.0527.0 to 1.5.0532.2. To find the WGA Notifications version, follow these steps:

• Click Start, and then click Control Panel.
• Double-click Add or uninstall Programs, locate and then click Windows Genuine Advantage Notifications, and then click Click here for support information.
• In the Support Info dialog box, verify the version number, and then click Close.
3. Rename the following files by changing the extension to .old:

• Rename %Windir%\system32\WgaLogon.dll to %Windir%\system32\WgaLogon.old
• Rename %Windir%\system32\WgaTray.exe to %Windir%\system32\WgaTray.old
4. Restart the computer.
