This was definitely a help .   I modified the bginfoinstall.cmd to add these lines

 

Echo > %systemroot%\bginfo.bmp

echo y| cacls %systemroot%\bginfo.bmp /e /g users:w

 

I removed the regedit line and did away with the .reg file and instead thru a GPO that is being used for other things for the users I put the bgi.cmd file into the login script.  Everything works great then. 

 

Thanks for pointers.

 

Jeff

Geoff,

 

Not sure if this will work for you but...we customise our settings and create the required lets say %Whatever%.bgi file. We then "install" BGINFO on all workstation and server builds:

 

BginfoInstall.cmd

 

@echo off
ECHO.
ECHO Copying BGInfo Files...
mkdir "%systemdrive%\Program Files\BGInfo"
copy "%PathToInstallFolder\BGInfo\*.*" "%systemdrive%\Program Files\BGInfo\"
ECHO.
ECHO.
ECHO Applying registry entry...
regedit /s "%systemdrive%\program files\BGInfo\BGInfo.reg"
ECHO.

BGInfo.reg:

 

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

 

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
"bg"="c:\\Program Files\\BGInfo\\BGI.cmd"

 

BGI.cmd:

 

"%systemdrive%\Program Files\BGInfo\bginfo.exe" "%systemdrive%\Program Files\BGInfo\%Whatever%.bgi" /timer:0

 

Hope this works...

 

James

I heard mention of bginfo in an email while back from someone.  Nice little program.  But little issue.  Doesn’t work in our environment for the user due to security rights.  Is there a way to run the bginfo as a service or as a system account?

 

Thanks

 

Jeff
