I need some help and perhaps ideas and solutions. I have been thinking about deploying an active desktop to all computers and laptops within the organization. I would like to include the following information on each desktop background.

- computer name

- user name

- domain

- IP address

- free space on a network personal folder etc

In addition I would like to have an option to put some important messages about critical network system changes etc

How can I do that? It is my understanding that all the above have to be some sort system variables or some thing like that because info will be different for everyone. Has anyone done this? Thanks a lot.

I too would be interested in a sample page to see how this would be done.! B)

I thought i read or saw something about that but im not sure if it is the same thing. If you find out how please post!

I think the free BgInfo program is a good alternativ program. I love it.

You can find more information here:
