Hello,

I had a glimpse of a system running XP Embedded NT & on the desktop in the
right handside the was a whole lot of info. The bits that caught my
attention were the IP address, hard drives & their letters, the free space &
used space. Is there anyway of tweaking XP Pro to have this feature or is it
just for the embedded system. I would really like to have this on my XP Pro
desktop. Anybody with ideas of info on how I can obtain this?

Thanks,

ISX

Isn't it possible to do this using group policies?

I seem to remember reading about it somewhere.......... it would appear
almost like when you log into safe mode and it says it in each corner.

I managed to get it displaying the service pack number before but I believe
this was windows 2000.

Anyone got any ideas?

Not that I'm aware of. You can display version on the desktop if you really
wanted but that's not really as much fun as you might think it would be and
that's all the information that it gives you. It would just say the version,
the number, and the service pack currently installed. I've enabled this with
X-Setup - www.x-setup.net - and didn't really like it that much at all. I'd
highly recommend the stat bar if you're interested in the displaying of
system information on the desktop. I've tried it and found I liked it so
much that I just kind of have left it there on a number of computers. I
think it's because I like to see how long I can go without rebooting barring
updates.

I took a peek :) It might serve as a replacement for StatBar if it's any
good and not too intrusive. Thank ye ;)
