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!

Thanks for that little bit of insight, much appreciated

[x2p]

yeah ive alway wanted to know that,thanks man

[Neon]

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!

[clarky3429]

lol, i already done that tweak!!

[ShadowFox]

You know what else is quick and easy... get a build with a time bomb on it

[Neon]

Thing is, if you remove timebomb, again no text...get LH 4015 for a build NO ONE will activate/Crack...it just keeps going

[ShadowFox]

Lol that's funny, but I like the text it's kinda cool... I just wish I know how to change it to read something that it's not... :evil grin:

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

[ShadowFox]

naa I meant so it does it automatically, I don't wanna go editing all those images O.o

[Neon]

Only an idea, i know it is possible to edit the build number itself, but i can't actually remember where i saw how

[ShadowFox]

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

[Neon]

I will look, if i don't find it maybe i just got confused over something else

[ShadowFox]

If ANYONE knows where it stores the build info let me know I'll find a way to crack the code... So to speak

[guilliam]

i'll pitch in a candy to anyone gets this trick right
