Default Removing legal Windows copy item in Explorer's Help menu

In the Windows Explorer Help menu on XP SP2 and newer is an item called "Is this copy of Windows legal?" (the Korean version says "Windows genuine legal check") when this selected it will open up a page in the Microsoft website. The menu item is not present in Windows XP RTM and SP1.

How to remove this menu entry?

You need to stop using pirated versions of Windows XP.

Where did you download this pirated versions from? You really need to
come clean and stop stealing people's property. Programmers have
families to feed like everybody but if you steal their work, their
children suffer because parents can't support them because people aren't
buying their products; stealing has become easier for people these days.


Bill Gates has children to feed. Have you priced silver spoons and
Iranian Beluga caviar lately? Maybe he could save a dime or two by
substituting Saltines for Swedish Knackebrot crackers, but those poor
kids! The inhumanity of it!

Programmers do deserve our support, but not necessarily when M$ is
siphoning the cream. The B&M Gates foundation? It seems to me that
all greedy scum eventually see the need to burnish their images.
History is replete with Robber Barons who committed fraud and
skulduggery to amass a fortune, only to become "philanthropists" later
in life. (so their children wouldn't inherit the stigma as well as
their millions, or perhaps they were typical Christians and afraid
they wouldn't make it through the pearly gates?)

I have a pirated version of XP. I had a licensed copy for this
machine, but with the run-around I was getting from M$, when trying to
so a fresh reload from the genuine disk....
