Ash-Bash 0 Report post Posted February 12, 2009 Hello, Recently upgraded to windows 7? You like it? But you don't like the send feed back at every window? Before: If you don't know what your doing and/or not a good enough experienced Registry Editor user you may end up messing up the registry. Attention!: Make sure you ALWAYS backup your registry before doing ANY edits in it. To remove simply go to: Start > Run > Regedit > And follow this path HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\FeedbackToolEnabled It should be at 1 or something just change it too 0 Restart! And you are done, After: Hope I helped you - Ash Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rayzoredge 2 Report post Posted February 13, 2009 Er, what's the point of removing it? The beta includes the feedback tool so that you can tell Microsoft to work. Why would we want to not have the ability to do that? Thanks for the heads-up on how to kill it though. It might come in handy when the RC comes out and M$ forgets to remove it... or leaves it there since we all know a M$ RC is actually the actual beta release, with SP1 or SP2 being the final.

Ash-Bash 0 Report post Posted February 13, 2009 Well some people, Obviously not you find it annoying to have there on every single window that you open... + You may want to use that as you main operating system so you may not want to have that every where!

rayzoredge 2 Report post Posted February 16, 2009 Well some people, Obviously not you find it annoying to have there on every single window that you open... + You may want to use that as you main operating system so you may not want to have that every where!The last thing you'd want to do is to make Windows 7 BETA your main operating system. Even the M$ geeks will tell you that... to include the supporting arguments of it:- being a BETA- already having corrupted MP3 libraries- becoming absolutely useless as it expires in August 2009- not being as functional as pre-existing Windows releasesI had to drop using the beta after a week because I was so frustrated with not being able to do what I wanted to do with it because of incompatibility of software and limitations. Windows 7b seems like it's going to be the greatest thing since XP SP2, but as far as using it as an everyday Beta OS, it's out of the question.If that's what you're personally doing right now, I'd advise you have a backup of everything you have if you haven't done so already. Playing with anything in its alpha and beta stages is like playing with a brand new grenade with an untested prototype retaining pin. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flashy 0 Report post Posted February 16, 2009 - becoming absolutely useless as it expires in August 2009What even if im not connected to the internet will it disable the BETA? Or can i still continue using it?--Anyways your totally right, you've gotta be completely wrong in the head to make Windows 7 your main Operating System. Its completely buggy, it destroys your media and to be frank, I cant stand the theme and how windows displays it.Obviously this is a good workaround, but i dont mind having that "Send feedback" there because i know that im not going to have the OS turned on for more than 10 mins!I maybe just have it on to take some snaps to write a review, but thats just about it really.--But still, useful (ish) tutorial Regards.

Ash-Bash 0 Report post Posted February 17, 2009 Well its hard to believe it some people already have!!! The beta version is the main OS even my friends done it! I was like WTH have you done don't use a beta as you main OS he says its fine and no bugs or problems with it, Well that's strange because when I changed to it I kept getting a blue screen of death every 10 minutes Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rayzoredge 2 Report post Posted February 17, 2009 @ Flashy: I'm not dead sure how it works, but it makes sense that if you're connected to the Internet, it would be able to disable W7b when the deadline approaches. You could possibly tinker with your BIOS clock to keep Windows 7b working, but that's too much of a hassle to keep an OS that isn't in full-fledged status yet... IMO.@ Ash-Bash: I actually have never experienced a BSOD with Windows 7. The OS works great... until you do something it doesn't like. (See my "The Windows 7 Experience" thread.) Then the whole thing just hangs, which is just as bad anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ash-Bash 0 Report post Posted February 17, 2009 Well I just figured out that the Blue screen of death was because my laptop was over heating, I have also just opened it up and found hairs all around the fan so it could not turn I think I will need to get a new CPU.

I can tell you. What if your Windows is *coughcough*not strictly legal*coughcough* and you might not want Microsoft to know about it? I'm not saying anything about myself, it's just a possibility.
