Text on Desktop

[Guest Somchai]

I am not sure if I am in the right forum however here my question. I have 4

servers connected to a KVM Switch. To make it easier to work I would like to

have some description on the desktop that I know on which server I am

currently are.

How do I create some text without changing the wallpaper. Speaking how do I

add text over the wallpaper.

 

Thank you

Google BGINFO. It does exactly what you want.

You can use BGinfo from SysInternals

(http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/utilities/bginfo.mspx).

It will change the wallpaper, though. It takes the information you want

written over the wallpaper and superimposes it.
