Here is what we have to do if we want our copy of WGA off our system:

1. Start Windows XP in Safe Mode
2. Delete WgaTray.exe in folder c:\Windows\System32
3. Start/Run and start RegEdit.
4. Find the lcation HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\Notify
5. Delete the entire folder ‘WgaLogon’
6. Restart Windows

Let’s say that this uninstalling confirms the rule LESS IS MORE. The entire procedure is also described on webpage http://support.microsoft.com/?scid=kb;en-us;921914 .
