Hello,
I HAD at the bottom right hand corner (first line) Windows 8.1 Pro (second line) Build 9600.
I have followed the instructions on:

link 1: How to Remove Watermark (Build Number Info) from Desktop in Windows 8? - AskVG

And that did not do anything.

So I then followed these instructions:

link 2: http://www.eightforums.com/customization/8657-solved-howto-remove-rtm-cp-watermark.html

(In the past, on the preview version of 8.1, the second link worked like a charm.)
Now following link 2 instructions only removes Windows 8.1 Pro, BUT not the Build 9600.

Does it have anything to do with the fact that I maybe messed it up by doing link 1 instructions, then following link 2 instructions? If so, how would I undo what I did with link 1 without doing a Windows Refresh install.

Does anyone else have problems with link 2 technique like I do?
If not, would someone please be able to zip %appdata%\Microsoft\Windows\Themes and and attach it here to test and see if I messed it up by executing both links instructions.

Thanks.
