p.s you have to run the application on Elevated permissions aka "run as admin" so it can edit reg values
now ima go fix my fucking windows

just decompiled you app and is very simple and so it should:

PHP Code


<?php 
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
      Interaction.MsgBox("WaterMarks Removed Please Restart Or SignOut for this to take affect.", MsgBoxStyle.Information, "Removed Watermarks")
      Interaction.MsgBox("Press Windows Key + R then type slui 3 and hit enter: then enter a new key!(After This app restarts Explorer.exe)", MsgBoxStyle.Information, "New Windows Key")
      MyProject.Computer.Registry.SetValue("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\SoftwareProtectionPlatform\Activation", "NotificationDisabled", "0")
      Dim processesByName As Process() = Process.GetProcessesByName("explorer")
      If (processesByName IsNot Nothing) Then
            Dim processArray As Process() = processesByName
            Dim num As Integer = 0
            While num < CInt(processArray.Length)
            processArray(num).Kill()
            Me.Timer1.Start()
            num = num + 1
            End While
      End If
      End Sub 


But i do have a question why have this timer?

PHP Code


<?php 
Private Sub Timer1_Tick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
      Dim processesByName As Process() = Process.GetProcessesByName("explorer")
      If (processesByName IsNot Nothing) Then
            Dim processArray As Process() = processesByName
            Dim num As Integer = 0
            While num < CInt(processArray.Length)
            processArray(num).Start()
            Me.Timer1.[Stop]()
            num = num + 1
            End While
      End If
      End Sub

The timer is to restart explorer.exe. the interval is set to 500 witch is 0.5 secs
this is to give a nice rest period between killing and restarting the process.
you have to kill the explorer.exe to reset the interface for the watermark to be removed. hope this answer your question.

You could of just use multithreading, make a sub to do all that is needed and then make a thread to trigger that sub... that just how I would do it anyways
