Can BGinfo wallpaper be hidden from Logon Screen to increase security
I need to find a way of hiding the information that is displayed on the desktop for bginfo when the screen locks.
The information from bginfo is helpful but it is obviously a security risk if someone can see the servers information (ip address, server name etc.) on the screen when it is locked.
Does anyone know how this can be hidden?

Not really... A locked console always shows the background image. Honestly, I wouldn't use BGInfo on a server, mostly for the exact reason you posted this question, but also because I don't like extra processes running on my servers, even if they are once per login and short.

Sadly we do need to run bginfo as it's usefulness far outweighs the disadvantages of an additonal process running.
