That's the difference I should have pointed out. In my environment, just because it's a workstation doesn't mean it's an end-user machine, or rather, it doesn't mean it's a dedicated end-user machine. I have some monitoring boxes that aren't really servers, and a couple of shared workstations that end-users RDP into one at a time to accomplish specific tasks. All of those have BGInfo on them, but not standard end-user machines.
