BGinfo not applying on first user logon

[CallMeMonks]

I have BGinfo setup but for some reason it does not apply when a user logs on to a PC/laptop for the first time. The standard Windows wallpaper is shown without any BGinfo data. When the user logs off and back on again the wallpaper and BGinfo data is shown.

 

I have the file BGinfo64.exe, BGinfo.bgi, and the wallpaper JPEG copied to the folder "c:\files" in a seperate computer Group Ploicy which means the files are copied to the C drive before the user has logged on. I then have the following script in a batch file running at user level:

 

reg add HKU\.DEFAULT\Software\Sysinternals\BGInfo /v EulaAccepted /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f

C:\files\Bginfo64.exe C:\files\SPSBGinfo.bgi /TIMER:00 /nolicprompt

 

Any ideas what's going wrong? The wallpaper and BGinfo data is displayed flawlessly on the second login so I'm not sure what's going on.

I add it to the startup folder with these parameters: /accepteula /silent /timer 0

Add the script to the startup folder?

We moved away from BGInfo a while ago and instead do it all via Powershell scripts

 

https://github.com/DJ-1701/GenerateWallpaper is what we have been using in it's place

I run the script on startup, and also manually set the wallpaper to the bginfo file via GPO. That seems to kick it in the backside so it works on first logon.

...and also manually set the wallpaper to the bginfo file via GPO.

Could I ask what you mean by that?
