yes, you can remove it. There is a registry file you will have to run to remove it.

Ok where do you get it? Or better yet what is the reg key that you have to modify.

i don't mind it but i was asking this kid to post the reg key to prove what you have just stated that i can't be done. If you actually use your computer how often do you even see your desktop?

yea, for real, if you don't like it then don't use betas of XP, why do you want to turn it off? so you can impress your friends by lying to them saying that you already have the final product cause you are an "Official Microsoft Super Duper Beta Tester" that has special privileges?

Red.....the Super Duper Beta Tester is here at your service, he doesn't need to know how to turn off the "DesktopPaint" thing anymore, didn't you hear? He's got the RTM of Windows XP, would you gladly tell us the build Number Red? Oh, stupid me, thats right, only Super Duper Beta Testers can know this Top Secret Stuff.
