    Personally I don't see any point in removing the watermark at all. It's not even at BETA state so it's pretty pointless in my opinion.

    I know. there is a certain awesomeness about the watermark. usually when I get new builds its one of the first things I think how to get rid of.

    thank you very much. OP should update with clear instructions. i do have a few numbers left over as the watermark but i can deal with that. not so much an eye sore anymore.

    not sure I haven't tried it yet. from what I remember reading, those must be the leftover letters/numbers people were talking about.

    That is odd. What version are you using? I am using the Torko leaked 7955 build. Maybe you are using the ba leaked build if there is a difference lol. I do know however that there is code in the Explorer that does this according a guy I know on the internet.

    Same thing happened to me like at jayblok's. Got me the sCooBy^-touched ISO. Maybe that's the keynote about this. ;]

    Going to do a clean install w/ WZor's ISO and check back & let you know.
