Version on the Desktop

Hey,

On my desktop is the version of Windows and "for testing
purposes only" its been on ever since I installed Service
Pack 1 and it won't come off. I even tried uninstalling
SP1. I got my copy right off of the microsoft web site,
and Tweak UI does not have the turn the version on the
desktop feature checked. Anyone have any ideas so that I
can get this thing off of my desktop. Thank you in
advance.

Joshua;
Was it a Beta version of SP1?
