WGA Tray

People who perform windows update may be so angry because of this thing. Windows Genuine Validation is downloaded as other update downloaded. For expert, this thing maybe is not a matter. But for beginner of someone that have no much experience in computer, it does a matter. Why? Because when you open other application, the desktop will appear with the windows genuine application showed up. It's so annoying. And you cannot delete it so easily, not in safemode too.
Okay, here I give soemt tips to delete the wga.tray

1. Use the wpa.reg to make the windows genuine for a while. Because you cannot delete or stop the windows genuine tray if the program still works. Download here

2. Then, you have to stop the wga.tray in task manager if the wga.tray not close automatically.
3. Go to C:/ windows, windows folder. Then go to folder system32 then delete the wga icon (the icon is blue star as showed in
the tray in desktop)

4. Still in the system32 folder, open dllcache folder. It's hidden folder and hard to find. If you still can't find it , do this from RUN
type: c:\Windows\System32\dllcache or %windir%\system32\dllcache

delete the wgatray icon (bluestar)

5. Go to RUN, type regedit, HKEY LOCAL MACHINE / SOFTWARE / MICROSOFT / WINDOWS NT / CURRENT VERSION / WINLOGON / NOTIFY / THEN delete folder ohh...I forget which one to delete but in my computer, it a folder above WLBALLON folder. The name folder is start with initial W.

Restart your computer. CONGRATULATIONS!! YOU DID IT..

But I heard there is some simple way to remove the wgatray.
Use this tool. Download here.
