Build number question

Is it possible to show the build number and such with the final release
retail version such as in pre-releases?

.....or if you meant on the Desktop wallpaper then you can set this value to
1 rather than 0

Start > regedit

PaintDesktopVersion

at

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop

Then log off and on

Go to the command prompt and type "ver" without the quotes. Should show
you that you have build 6000.

Go to regedit.

Browse to HKEY_Current_User\Control Panel\Desktop and toggle the
PaintDesktopVersion value to 1. Then it will show up on your desktop.
