Official Method by Microsoft - more
information
here.
First Method
-
Restart Windows XP in Safe Mode by Tapping F8 as you
start the computer.
- Launch Windows Task Manager (press
SHIFT+CTRL+ESC)
- End wgatray.exe process in Task Manager.
-
Delete WgaTray.exe from c:\Windows\System32.
-
Delete WgaTray.exe from
c:\Windows\System32\dllcache.
-
Launch RegEdit (Start>Run>Regedit>OK)
-
Browse to the following location:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\
Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\Notify
- Delete
the folder ‘WgaLogon’ and all its
contents
-
Reboot Windows XP.
Note: With this method, you may be prompted to
install WGA Notifications again which can still be
unselected.
Second Method
Another alternative
suggested by dman is by using System Restore to
restore the PC to a previous restore point that WGA
Notifications hasn’t kicked in, and then carefully stop
KB905474 from been applied to the system. To use System
Restore, go to Start -> All Programs -> Accessories ->
System Tools -> System Restore.
Note: Again, you may be prompted again to install WGA
Notification, so it must be bypassed.
