change version on desktop

I do not know of a way to display the service pack information directly on the Desktop (unlike the build number). However, another approach would we to put the information there yourself (dynamically, of course).

Sysinternals (the freeware part of Winternals) has a configurable utility called BgInfo that will do just this. (The have a lot of other free useful utilities as well.) You configure the information you want put on the Desktop (e.g. Host Name, User Name, CPU, OS Version, Service Pack, System Type, IP Address, Boot Time, etc.) and it will generate a background with the information you want on it. Drop a shortcut to BgInfo in your Startup group and the information will be updated wach time you logon to the computer. This utility works with Windows 9x/Me/NT/2K/XP. You do not need to worry about resource usage because this program writes the background and terminates.

You can check it out at:
