Windows Genuine Advantage (WGA) notifications occur when your computer hasn't passed the validation test. The validation test can be failed because you installed a pirated non-genuine copy of XP, or because you have changed your XP product key to a software-generated key, or sometimes it just happens for no reason at all. Here's how to get rid of the annoying notifications.
Executing a Batch Script
-
Right-click on your desktop. Choose New, then Text Document.
- Enter the name as "remove.bat" without the quotes.
- A message should appear saying that you are changing a file type. Click Yes. If the message does not appear, and the file icon is a picture of a piece of paper, then you need to enable "show file extensions for known file types" in the Windows Explorer Tools ->Folder Options dialog.
-
Right-click on remove.bat and select Edit. Notepad will open.
-
Paste the following lines into Notepad, then save and exit:
taskkill -IM wgatray.exe
del wgatray.exe
del wgalogon.old -
Double-click on the remove.bat icon. A command prompt window should briefly appear, then close automatically.
