How can I display the Windows version number on the desktop?


The decorative Windows version number can be easily read in all Windows operating systems on the Win desktop!



This can be done very quickly via the Windows registry! APC restart is required, or an Explorer restart 

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop
Set the "DWORD" value of PaintDesktopVersion to:

"0" for displaying the "Windows version number".
"1" for not displaying the "Windows version number".

This works with Windows Server 2000/2003/2005/2008/2012/2016 and also with Windows Vista / XP, as well as on the new Windows 7 and Windows 8, 8.1 and Windows 11 and 10.
