When working with several computers and servers at the same time, it is useful to be able to simply see what system you’re working on. In the distant past, we have used bginfo with some success. Today we stumbled on a tip by Elliot Gillum on StackExchange. He gave credit to this original post at nextofwindows.com.

The steps are real easy:

  1. Right click on Taskbar
  2. Go to Toolbars
