Display different desktop/message everyday.

[Kyle]

I need to find a way of putting messages on desktops of all curriculum computers. We currently use Active desktop and we change the pictures every half term. I was wondering if their is a way i can have something that display a different message on the desktop every day? I know i can create .jpegs and manually change them every day but his would be a pain in the a*se.

 

Has anyone got any suggestions on how to do this? Or to do something similar.

If you do a search people have contributed scripts for this sort thing.Look for message and script and terms like that. Heres one example

BGINFO is great for this as well as displaying other stuff on users desktop.
