BGInfo - Popup Mode

[SkreeM1980]

Hi,

 

I'm looking into ways of popping up a message to students with "Useful Info" on login (Save your work to your my documents when opening from email etc.) and thought I would be able to use BGInfo with the /popup switch, but when I do my 8 lines or so message it doesn't all fit into the popup window that comes up. Does anyone know a way of making the window size different, or a different tool I can use for this?

 

Thanks

I'll be honest with you - my experience of login popup messages is that almost everyone simply clicks OK on them without reading them.

I know .. but if you haven't tried to tell them and they come crying it makes it harder to say I told you so!

Would it not be possible to just put the info on the desktop through bginfo? Then when they do complain you can just press Win+D and point

I could do, However I was looking to avoid using the background as we have a large number of VDI desktops and best practice is to not have BG images as it can reduce screen redraw performance.

Build an EXE that loads on logon, that you have to wait 5 seconds to click Okay that will fox them!

Use a VBS script to achieve the delivery of the pop up message on logon?
