Well frogbait,
yes and no: I have a file here called "Tweakui_Powertoy_for_Windows_XP_reworked_for_2003 .msi" sized around 330 kB. It's not an official m$ tweakie.
Then xsetup works with 2003 also, I don't recall though if the little tweak you are looking for is included there but I thnk so.
Thanks, .unicorn - is there a URL for that (besides Google?)...
Anyway, I found the Reg hack, and it works -
To configure Windows 2003 Server so that the build number is displayed on the desktop:
1. Click Start, and then click Run.
2. In the Open box, type regedit, and then click OK.
3. Locate and click the following registry key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop
4. In the right pane, double-click PaintDesktopVersion.
5. Type 1 in the Value data box, and then click OK.
6. Click Exit on the Registry menu.
7. Log off, and then log on to the computer.
The build number is displayed in the lower-right corner of your desktop, for example:
Windows 2003 Server, Enterprise Edition
Build 3790
NOTE: If you no longer want the Windows 2003 build number to be displayed on your desktop, follow the preceding steps, but type 0 in the Value data box in step 5.
I like it!!!
Edit: This hack requires a reboot.
