Or negate all the positive entries in the Settings>Privacy section and install Spybot Anti Beacon to reimmunize them after every occasion Microsoft tries to reset them.

Then change the name of your PC in Control Panel>System and while you're in there, change the Remote settings from six hours to three minutes then turn the facility off completely.
