    Create Taskbar Icon: build number XXXXX.nnnn


    Like many Insiders, I see the watermark on the desktop, and it lets me know exactly what build I'm using, except if I am using a feature build or one that Microsoft has not included a watermark for.

    Like many others I don't want a permanent watermark on every release, but rather than running Winver every time, wouldn't it be nice to have a taskbar icon to hover over just to show Major and minor build numbers.

    Can anyone of you PS geeks supply a script to do this?

    Since it's geeky, it might also be useful for the Icon, when clicked, after a /!\ warning with yes/no choice, to directly open Regedit to the registry key where the information comes from, i.e. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion

    Possible?

    :)

    Pin to taskbar

    Just drag that icon from desktop to taskbar. It will pin it to taskbar by creating an icon on taskbar.

    Thanks for the suggestion JW, not quite what I really want. I could create a custom background for the calendar, I guess. Or there may be some way to raise a notification on startup.

    Create a 'dummy' folder somewhere with Windows Version/Build number as the name and pin that as a 'New Toolbar' to your taskbar.

    That would not update from system information, Edwin.

    I settled on sysinternals BGINFO as a solution, which I can schedule to run at startup:
