Description:
Early versions of windows showed the version number on the desktop, but this feature was removed in the later version. By using this tweak you are able to enable the feature again. That will help you to quickly locate which version of windows is running. For this, go to start > run menu, enter "regedit" and navigate to the registry path listed below. You can create a reg_sz (string value) value "paintdesktopversion", if this value does not exist. Now, right-click and modify the value to "1" to enable feature. However, if you want to get back to the original state and disable the feature, change the value to "0".
