1) Click the Start button, click Run, type regedit and click OK

2) On the left-hand side, navigate to (and highlight)
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop

3) On the right-hand side, locate PaintDesktopVersion and double-click it

4) In the pop-up window, change the data to 1 and click OK

Note:
0 = Hide Windows version from desktop
1 = Show Windows version on desktop
