BGInfo for client wallpaper

Hi all

I want my client machines to run BGInfo when users logon.

I've tried entering the following in the Run at Logon area of the GPE:

\\servername\NETLOGON\bginfo.exe \\servername\NETLOGON\filename.bgi /timer:0

and I've also tried the same command in a logon script.

Neither work because users don't have the rights to change the wallpaper themselves - I checked this by running the same command in Start\Run... on their desktops.

Is there a way to allow the script to change desktop wallpaper even though users cannot?  I'd rather not have people messing around with wallpaper although I appreciate I can remove all changes at log off.  I suppose I could leave the desktop settings unavailable but still give users the rights to change the wallpaper - just checking to see if there's a more elegant solution !


Thanks
