    Yup, I have also figured that out. For the record LimitBlankPasswordUse also has no effect as well (but isn't modified by my program anyway). I have documented that in the source..

    Alright, I'll use my telepathy functionality to figure out why it didn't work.. mlmlmlm... damn, I failed. :rolleyes:

    Ok, so how about you say what exactly does not work (e.g. it still shows the watermark?), or you paste the output of the program, or make a screenshot of the programs output. Or you give me remote access... Or tell me which language you have (is it en-US? no? then no wonder..).

    Do NOT use this patcher! You will lose access to weather, news, sports, maps, etc... Please update patcher to fix these issues.

    I still can access these applications. Might want to provide details on how you installed it and your language of the OS etc.. that information will help to get to the patch better working. ;)

    I have tried this patcher on 2 seperate systems and it disables the access to weather, news, sports, maps, etc... On both of these systems I completed a restore to right before the patcher was ran and both systems started functioning properly again. Both system are under a virtual environment running Windows 8 x64 english.

    Hmm, try to install it while doing nothing. Let is restart automatically too which it did for me 2 times as I recall.
    Else wait for Peter to answer, he probably got more question that will help him to find the issue. ;)

    What is the big deal about having the watermark on the desktop. I guess it must be a personal preference, as I have noticed that I am very rarely on my desktop screen. I don't understand why anyone would want to lose functionality over removing the watermark.

    I will add support for all languages today evening (in a couple hours). Though I need someone to test this with non en-US language. Anyone wants to help me?! DerKleene1985? Send me a PM.

    Regarding the "missing functionality" of weather etc (@donjulio0088), I think you are the only one where this is not working?! Maybe you installed something else...? I just tested it, and everything works as expected (still can use the weather tile). Please don't scare people off :) Like Niekess said, it restarts 2 times on 64-bit (that is because of rebuilding the mui cache).

    UPDATE: Version 1.6, supports now ANY language! It checks now the current users locale.

    Download and detailed info as always in the first post. If it does not work for anyone, let me know! (and give me details such as if 32/64 bit, locale) I'm always here to improve my stuff.
