How To Add (& Display) The Windows Version Info On Desktop
Did you ever notice the beta releases of Windows always displaying the Windows Version on the desktop in the lower right corner?
Obviously, this is not useful but it's a learning experience to understand what's your OS? This article will show you 'how this feature could be enabled or disabled'.
The trick is so simple, where you just have to edit a key in the registry file then it will be done.
Open Start Menu, type 'regedit' then press Enter.
Registry Editor window will open.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop
Make sure you select “Desktop” and not the subfolders in it, then on the right-hand side, search for “PaintDesktopVersion” and double-click it.
Registry Editor window will open.
From the left pane, navigate to the following key:
Make sure you select “Desktop” and not the subfolders in it, then on the right-hand side, search for “PaintDesktopVersion” and double-click it.
A dialog box will pop-up.
Change the “Value Data” field (from 0) to 1.
Now restart and you’ll see your Windows version will be showing on the desktop.
If you want to remove the watermark, just change the “Value Data” field back to 0 for disabled.
