• BgInfo & Windows Server 2008

    Step 1: Acquire the BgInfo Files from Microsoft.

    Go to http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb897557.  Click Download BgInfo.  Save BgInfo.zip.  Once saved, extract the contents of BgInfo.zip to “C:\BgInfo”

    Step 2: Run Bginfo.exe.

    Agree to the license terms when prompted.  Remove any criteria that you don’t need or want displayed.  Click the Desktops button.  Make sure all 3 settings are set to “Update this Wallpaper” (click OK).  Once you’ve configured BGInfo to display the settings you want, click on “File –> Save As…”.  Save the file as Default.bgi (in “C:\BgInfo”)

    Step 3: Create the shortcut and place it in the Startup folder.

    Create a shortcut with these parameters:
         Target:     C:\BGInfo\Bginfo.exe “C:\BgInfo\Default.bgi” /timer:0 /NOLICPROMPT
         Start in:    C:\BgInfo

    Next, place the shortcut you just created in the following directory:
         C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

    The next time you log into the machine, BgInfo will be your desktop background.  You can just double-click the shortcut from step 3 to keep from logging out / back in.
