Hello, I want to delete the Action Center permanently, not hide it. I know my way around a computer too much to need that silly thing. I can't use the "Turn system icons on and off" menu because I use a replacement shell for explorer.exe (bbLean) and it gives me a error while trying to access "Turn system icons on and off" because bbLean does not have that.


P.S. I went to change the forum theme to the PC metro theme and I accidentally clicked the theme for tablets and such and cannot find the theme changer on this theme. :confused:

Hi,

You can't delete it since it runs off of svchost.exe.

Run explorer.exe and hide it in "Turn system icons on and off"

In Regedit: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\wscsvc

Change Start value to 4.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\SDRSVC

Change Start value to 4.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\PcaSvc

Change Start value to 4.

Reboot.
