Can I set the logged in username as a background, so when users take a picture from an external device it has the username in the desktop background?

ex. I took a photo from my phone for things in my word PC, it must have my username credentials as a background so if it gets leaked, I can identify the user

    Hi noob ad,

    I am Dave, I will help you with this.

    Thee is no method, setting or registry hack in Windows to add the use name to the screen or background so you can trace who would have taken a screenshot.

    If you want a user name to appear on the Desktop, you would need to create a background image that includes a use name, but if different users have access to a PC, that would also not work.

    Really, there is no way to prevent someone taking a screenshot with a phone camera, they could even edit out a user name if it existed on the screen.
