Show Windows version On Desktop

If you want to display the version of your Windows 7 on your desktop, here is a simple registry hack which will help you do it.

Open regedit and navigate to the following key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\PaintDesktopVersion

Double click on PaintDesktopVersion in the RHS and in the box that appears, change the value to from 0 to 1

Restart.

Can be especially useful if you are running multiple virtual machines in differing states of service packs.
