Bginfo Windows 10
1 down vote favorite Running the very nice BGInfo tool to uniquely identify various computers. However, in trying to run on Windows 2008 Server R2, I am getting following error: "An error occured opening the Default Desktop registry key. Please ensure the current user has rights to change the Logon Desktop settings: Access is denied." The program is started via a shortcut placed in "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup", and that shortcut is specifying a .BGI configuration file (versus reading settings from the Registry). Thoughts on why the error happens for user other than the Administrator? On a more in-depth level, I am curious if anyone knows why BGInfo must open the "default desktop registry key" and what it is updating in the "logon desktop settings" (phrase in quotes taken from the original error message)? windows sysinternals share|improve this question asked May 2 '12 at 18:12 Dan Aquinas 91138 add a comment| 2 Answers 2 active oldest votes up vote 0 down vote From an administrator account. I was able to right click on bginfo.exe. Go to Compatibility tab and check the Run this program as an administrator. This seemed to then allow me to apply the settings without the Default Desktop registry key error. share|improve this answer answered Jan 31 '14 at 15:19 TNTcr205 12 add a comment| up vote 0 down vote BGInfo needs to update the registry to set a default login desktop for all RDP users. You need to run BGInfo with elevated privileges initially. That can be done as described by creed929 or by right-clicking on bginfo.exe and running as administrator. Once the settings are saved, subsequent user logins will n

Being logged in as an administrator isn't enough anymore. UAC is in win2012 just as deeply as it was In Vista when UAC was introduced, and applications need to be run in an administrator context to have certain permissions. 0 LVL 23 Overall: Level 23 Active Directory 6 Windows Server 2012 4 Windows 10 2 Message Active 1 day ago Accepted Solution by:Thomas Grassi2015-08-12 Have you checked your gpo deployment?

Posted on 2010-01-22 error occurred Windows XP MS Legacy OS Windows OS 1 Verified Solution 2 Comments 2,312 Views Last Modified: 2012-05-08 Good Morning Experts, I have an issue with BGINFO that is almost solved. Basically group policy runs this batch file: ============== @ECHO OFF SET BGINSTALL=\\%DOMAIN%\netlogon\bginfo\bginfo.exe SET BGCONFIG=\\%DOMAIN%\netlogon\bginfo\walser.bgi SET BGSETAS=\\%DOMAIN%\netlogon\bginfo\bginfo.vbs regsvr32 /s shimgvw.dll regedit /s \\\%DOMAIN%\netlogon\bginfo\bginfofix.reg %BGINSTALL% %BGCONFIG% /nolicprompt /timer:0 /silent cls GOTO END :END EXIT ============ And this works great, error occurred opening but I ran into the issue where users would do the setas background. I fixed that with a registry change, which is reflected in the batch above. However, when a normal user logs in they don't have the priviledges of editing registry, and that batch doesn't take place and the user can still do a setas background. Here are the registry changes: [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\ActiveDesktop] "NoChangingWallPaper"=dword:00000001 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System] "WallpaperStyle"="2" "Wallpaper"="\\\\%DOMAIN%\\netlogon\\bginfo\\walserbackground.jpeg" Since this changes the current user, how do I get these changes to take place on non-elevated users? All users are running Windows XP. Thanks!
