Thank you for your reply. I did all per the above, but the version
still does not appear on my desktop. What could I be doing wrong, or
is there something missing that I should do?

Do you have Web content enabled on the Desktop?
If yes, nothing you do will show the version on the Desktop.
To see if you do.........
Right click the Desktop | Properties | Desktop tab |
Customize Desktop | Is there a Web tab?? |
Click View my Active Desktop as a web page to remove the check mark next to
this menu command.
If you just want to see the XP version...........
Start | Run | Type: winver | OK
[[Instead of showing the Windows Version on the user's desktop, why not show
it on the desktop at the Windows logon screen.]]

My sincere thanks for replying to my problem. I , in final
desperation, installed a backup of XP and that cleared my problem. I
just remembered that a few days ago, I downloaded several security
patches from the MS windows update site, and that is when my trouble
began. Heaven only knows what else could have been effected by the
patches I downloaded.
Again, thank you.
