This tip is For older XP builds
Edit or remove the "Comments" link in window title bars
During the Windows XP beta, Microsoft has added a "Comments?" hyperlink to the title bar of each window in the system so that beta testers can more easily send in a problem report about the user interface. But for most of us, this isn't an issue, and the Comments link is simply a visual distraction. And for many programs that alter the title bar, the Comments link renders the Minimize, Maximize, and Close window buttons unusable, so it's actually a problem.Let's get rid of it. Or, if you're into this kind of thing, you can edit it too.
Open the Registry Editor and navigate to the following keys:My Computer \ HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Control Panel \ Desktop \ LameButtonEnabledMy Computer \ HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Control Panel \ Desktop \ LameButtonText
The first key determines whether the link appears at all; change its value to 0 to turn it off. The second key lets you have a little fun with the hyperlink; you can change the text to anything you'd like, such as "Paul Thurrott" or whatever.
Editing either value requires a restart before the changes take effect.
Before: An unnecessary hyperlink. Have some fun with it! Or just remove it entirely. It's up to you.
