    Removing all blue "help" buttons from top right corner of windows


    Hello,

    I'm trying to remove all the ugly blue "help" buttons from the top right corner of several of the windows throughout the OS, mainly in the control panel items.

    I have identified the following files to contain them:

    accessibilitycpl.dll
    ActionCenterCPL.dll
    DiagCpl.dll
    fvecpl.dll
    PerfCenterCPL.dll
    powercpl.dll
    sdcpl.dll
    SensorsCpl.dll
    systemcpl.dll
    taskbarcpl.dll
    themecpl.dll
    usercpl.dll
    wucltux.dll


    For example, "wucltux.dll" is the windows update window.

    Upon viewing the code through a hex editor via "UIFILE\123" for example, I believe that I have narrowed it down to the following:

    <if class="cp_help_glyph">
    <Button height="18rp" width="18rp" content="icon(99,sysmetric(49),sysmetric(50),library(imageres.dll))" padding="rect(1rp,1rp,1rp,1rp)" cursor="hand" accRole="link" accdefaction="click" tooltip="true"/>
    <if keyfocused="true">
    <Button contentalign="focusrect"/>
    </if>
    </if>
    <if class="cp_content_pane">
    <Element width="600rp" padding="rect(10rp,0rp,10rp,0rp)" background="themeable(dtb(CONTROLPANEL,2,0),window)"/>
    </if>
    <if class="wuapp_content_pane">
    <Element width="600rp" padding="rect(26rp,0rp,26rp,0rp)" background="themeable(dtb(CONTROLPANEL,2,0),window)"/>
    </if>
    <if class="cp_content_instruction">
    <Element contentalign="wrapleft" foreground="gtc(CONTROLPANELSTYLE,5,0,3803)" font="gtf(CONTROLPANELSTYLE, 5, 0)" accessible="true" accRole="statictext"/>
    </if>
    <if class="cp_content_v_spacer">
    <Element height="7rp"/>
    </if>
    <if class="cp_content_text">
    <Element font="gtf(CONTROLPANELSTYLE, 6, 0)" foreground="gtc(CONTROLPANELSTYLE,6,0,3803)" contentalign="wrapleft" accessible="true" accRole="statictext"/>
    <PText font="gtf(CONTROLPANELSTYLE, 6, 0)" foreground="gtc(CONTROLPANELSTYLE,6,0,3803)" contentalign="wrapleft" accessible="true" accRole="statictext"/>
    </if>
    <if class="cp_content_title_text">
    <Element font="gtf(CONTROLPANELSTYLE, 19, 0)" foreground="gtc(CONTROLPANELSTYLE,19,0,3803)" contentalign="wrapleft" accessible="true" accRole="statictext"/>
    </if>
    <if class="cp_help_link">
    <Button accessible="true" accRole="link" accdefaction="click" foreground="gtc(CONTROLPANELSTYLE,7,1,3803)" font="gtf(CONTROLPANELSTYLE,7,1)" overhang="false"/>
    <Element accessible="true" accRole="link" accdefaction="click" foreground="gtc(CONTROLPANELSTYLE,7,1,3803)" font="gtf(CONTROLPANELSTYLE,7,1)" overhang="false"/>
    <if keyfocused="true">
    <Button contentalign="wrapleft | focusrect"/>
    <Element contentalign="wrapleft | focusrect"/>
    </if>
    <if enabled="false">
    <Button foreground="gtc(CONTROLPANELSTYLE,7,4,3803)" font="gtf(CONTROLPANELSTYLE,7,4)"/>
    <Element foreground="gtc(CONTROLPANELSTYLE,7,4,3803)" font="gtf(CONTROLPANELSTYLE,7,4)"/>
    </if>
    <if mousefocused="true">
    <Button cursor="hand" foreground="gtc(CONTROLPANELSTYLE,7,2,3803)" font="gtf(CONTROLPANELSTYLE,7,2)"/>
    <Element cursor="hand" foreground="gtc(CONTROLPANELSTYLE,7,2,3803)" font="gtf(CONTROLPANELSTYLE,7,2)"/>



    What portions do I have to delete to remove the button while still having the window functional?

    Basically, I want to remove the blue buttons without breaking anything.

    Deleting the blue question mark icon outright from the "imageres.dll" file causes breakage.


    Any help would be appreciated.

    Cheers.
