If this isn’t your cup of tea, make sure to read through the rest of the series and wait for tomorrow’s lesson, when we’ll be discussing the very powerful set of PsTools provided by SysInternals. It will create a new wallpaper file and then assign that as your new default wallpaper. It’s worth noting that BGInfo displays information by writing text over top of your wallpaper, if you have wallpaper set. You can also save information from BGInfo to a text file or even a database without even displaying on the desktop, so if you are looking for a quick way to capture information on all the computers in your network, you can use BGInfo and some batch scripts to solve your problem. The BGInfo utility displays information on the desktop, and it works in a server environment as well - in fact, that’s probably where it is the most useful, but it also works on anybody’s computer, so you can test things out on your local machine before running the configuration on the server. There are also many utilities in the toolkit used for displaying information, and we’re going to look at some of them. If you’ve been following along with our series, you might be surprised at the huge departure from hunting malware and deleting crapware to displaying stuff on the desktop, but the SysInternals tools aren’t just about finding things to kill.
