Here is an old trick that is used to put the build tag of your windows in the left corner of the desktop:

Click Start-Run... and type regedit (obviously!)

Now, you see those "+".

Go under HKEY_CURRENT_USER- Control Panel- Desktop. Double click on PaintDesktopVersion and modify its reg_dword value to 1 (originally set at 0). Close regedit and log off then log in to windows :)

Simple!

That's one of those tweaks i like, i never do it BUT it is always a good bit of knowledge to have, when me and my friends are having geek battles, that will be my finishing move......

WHAM!

I think that all you need to do, is copy all the wallpapers to a back-up location and add the text to the images in this location instead of it being the proper thing...

Edit each one *and backup* in C:\windows\web\wallpaper and add a custom build tag

It'd be nice if you remember how or find out where the information is stored for it to read from.
