In the past I have scanned in pictures of people's kids, pets, etc. I consider myself a pretty reasonable person and do my best to accomadate people's requests.

Yet people have ignored this and downloaded programs that change their wallpapers hourly, daily, etc.

We also have a company policy that retricts use of any wallpapers that do not come with Windows (or aren't approved by the IT staff). Most users don't even know it's there until I point it out to them.Īnd yes, I could have them run winmsd to get this information, but as some of my users don't even know how to create a new folder on the desktop, without me walking them through it EVERY time, so doing that is out of the question. That's all I have BGInfo display, in a small typeface in the upper- right-hand corner of the desktop. as I manage over 200 PCs, some at remote offices, I need that info displayed in an easy-to-find location, so that when a user calls me, I know what PC they are sitting at (Hostname), its IP address and the user they are logged in as.
