How to Remove Windows Genuine Advantage Notifications


Method One: Task Manager
Run as an administrator with no other user accounts running.
Launch Windows Task Manager (Processes). Leave it open.
Navigate to to C:\Windows\System32, and find WgaTray.exe.
Right-click on WgaTray.exe, and select Delete. Leave the deletion confirmation box open.go back to Windows Task Manager and click Wgatray.exe.
Click End Process. When you are prompted for a confirmation to terminate the process, align the “End Process” confirmation box with the previous “Delete File” confirmation box, or at least have them close together. Do this because you'll need to do both actions quickly — at least within 2 or 3 seconds.

Removing a Dual Boot in Windows


Removing a dual boot can be dangerous, and it does not guarantee that Windows will forget about the second boot sector. This is your first step in removing the boot option screen and second OS installation.

Use the following steps to remove a dual boot:
1. Right-click on My Computer, and select Properties.
2. Move to the Advanced tab.
3. Under Startup and Recovery, select Settings.
4. If you wish to leave the OS on the machine but not see the option screen, you can simply set the ‘time to display list of operating systems:’ to 0 as winXP should now be your default OS.
5. Otherwise, if the removal of the OS is your goal, then click edit.
6. First save a copy of the Notepad file which opens ‘boot.ini’ just in case you make a mistake.
You will see lines such as the following:
