Version data on desktop.

All of a sudden I have "Windows XP professional - Build
2600, etc" showing up in the lower left corner on my
desktop. Anybody know how to make it go away?

Thanks, Ramesh! I suspected it was a reg entry; now if I
only knew how it changed itself...

If you are using TweakUI powertoys for XP, there is a setting under the
General tab for showing version on desktop. That might be where it's
coming from.
