Embed Writing in Windows 7 Desktop Screen Pt2

Hello Experts

I have installed bgInfo v4.20 as advised by Experts. However, each time I reboot the desktop settings disappear.

Can someone show me how to make the desktop settings remain when I reboot or log off.

Regards

Experts,

Just so you I access the PC via RDP. So this might be part reason why it disappears each time I log off, but not sure

The following almost works, but I can't get it to work as a batch file:

\Users\N21\Downloads\bgInfo\Bginfo.exe \Users\N21\Downloads\bgInfo\mybgp.bgi /TIMER:00 /nolicprompt

It works if I run it from start menu

and ending with

echo off

So I looked at your other link and created the following:

@echo off
cd
CALL "c:Users\N21\Downloads\bgInfo\Bginfo.exe" "c:Users\N21\Downloads\bgInfo\mybgp.bgi" /TIMER:00 /nolicprompt

but didn't work

What about;

@echo off
cd
CALL "\\192.168.99.110\N21\Downloads\bgInfo\Bginfo.exe" "\\192.168.99.110\Users\N21\Downloads\bgInfo\mybgp.bgi" /TIMER:00 /nolicprompt

make sure the path is the same for both locations in the script

\\ip\c$\users\n21etc

but i would use a share if u decide to apply it in production. not all users will have access to "c$" admin share
