server info on desktopHello folks:
I have seen the server info- machine name, ip address, logged on user, memory and processor displayed on the server desktop. I was wondering how it is done, I am not talking about BigInfo. Please let me know, I would like to do the same on our servers. Thanks. The only way I know how to do this involves either BGInfo or some variation
on that product.
