How To: Remove and Disable Annoying Send Feedback Link In Windows 7
Microsoft puts a watermark (link) at the upper right corner of every window in their new generation operating system Windows 7 Beta, that says “Send Feedback”. If you want to send feedback to Microsoft about the new operating system, you can also send feedback by clicking the “Send Feedback” button that Windows 7 automatically installs on your desktop, or you can just type “feedback” into the Windows search box.
If “Send Feedback” link at the title bars of all Windows in Windows 7 Beta is creating trouble for you, or you have already disabled it and want to enable it again do the following registry tweak.For this tweak you just need to edit a registry value of Windows 7.Here are steps on how to do it.
- Open up the Windows 7 Start Menu.
- Type “regedit.exe” (without quotes) into the start menu search box and hit enter.
- Click yes if UAC(User Account Control) prompts.
- Navigate to the registry key:
HKEY_Current_User\Control Panel\Desktop
- Locate the key on right side which says “FeedbackToolEnabled“.
- Double click on “FeedbackToolEnabled” and change the value to 0 (from 3)
- Continue through the UAC prompt and confirm that you wish to perform the action.
- Logoff and then log back on to your account to see ‘Send Feedback’ link disappeared.
If you want to re-enable the feedback link, just repeat the process and change the value of the key”FeedbackToolEnabled” from 0 back to 3 again.
