Hi,

To check witch registry setting is changed/created/deleted
when you do something (as hiding file extension, for exemple), you can
use a tool like regmon from www.sysinternals.com. This tool monitor the
registry and show you the change. It's even live.

Hope you find this useful.

Best regards,

Olivier

Thanks Toby. I use the Background Info tool from sysinternals and have the background generated dynamically - take a look here http://blogs.technet.com/jhoward/archive/2004/12/08/278205.aspx.

Great Blogcast John!

I have one slightly OT question though. Do you use separate software to bring up the client details e.g. hostname, IP address, OS level etc as the background on your client?

Or do you merely design a background with all the info, and set its as your background?
