Add BGInfo to logon (Option#2)

Once you have the settings configured for your tastes, save the template by going to the File menu and clicking Save As.

The corresponding template can be saved anywhere but I just choose to store mine locally in the same location as the application.
In order to make BGInfo refresh the system information, you can create a batch file that launches on login.  To do this, open Notepad and type the following: “[Path to BGInfo App]\bginfo.exe” “[Path to template]\[TemplateName].bgi” /TIMER:0 /accepteula
The /TIMER:0 option forces the application to launch with the timer set to 0 seconds so the application GUI used earlier to configure the template never displays to the user.
The /accepteula flag prevents the user agreement splash screen from displaying during the first launch.
Save the new notepad file as a batch script.  I choose to just store this file in the same location as the application and template.



Local Computer Policy-->User Configuration-->Windows Settings-->Scripts(Logon/Logoff)-->Logon
I personally place my BGInfo directory in Windows\System32\BGInfo.

Here is what the bat file looks like:
C:\windows\system32\bginfo\bginfo.exe /ic:\windows\system32\BGInfo\logon.bgi /timer:0
