How to Remove Watermark on Windows 8.1 Build 9385

Some users may find that watermark extra annoying. If you’re one of those users who find it annoying and would like to remove it,there is how you can do that :

I found out a way to completely remove the watermark from Windows 8.1 pro preview build 9385. You can remove it by following the instructions, I tried this myself and it apparently works.

1. First, download the RAR file from Here. Save the file in your desktop or somewhere else.

2. Open the file you downloaded and install InstallTakeOwnership.reg from the Take Owenership folder.

3. Navigate to Windows\System32\en-US, locate shell32.dll.mui, right-click it and select Take Ownership. Select Yes. Do the same for basebrd.dll.mui which can be found atWindows\Branding\Basebrd\en-US. Completely close the Windows Explorer.

4. Now go to the file you downloaded, navigate to Edited Files folder and drag and replace theshell32.dll.mui to Windows\System32\en-US. Copy and replace basebrd.dll.mui from Edited Files toWindows\Branding\Basebrd\en-US.

5. Open the Command Prompt as an administrator by right clicking it and selecting ‘Run as administrator.’

6. Type mcbuilder in the command prompt. Hit enter and wait until it finish which should take about 10 seconds.

Restart your computer. The Watermark should now be removed  from your desktop. If the Watermark is still showing up on your desktop and you followed all instructions correctly, change the theme or background wallpaper from Personalization. -
