    Is there anyway that BGInfo4x can read a specific text file from a users area on logon and output this to their wallpaper?

    We have a way to quickly create a grades.txt file on each users area (h:\grades.txt).

    We would like to read this file on logon and output it to the users wallpaper.

    Thanks

    Yes it is. Easy to do if you provide more information:

    The grades.txt is a general file for all of your users? Or there is a grades.txt file by user?

    Is the file grades.txt located on a network share like \server\share or
    there is a mapped drive unit like Z:\ by user?

    Can you provide an example of grades.txt?

    Thanks.

      Any chance we could get an answer to this? I need the same thing. I have a file with an MOE version number in it (single line of text in a text file) and need this to be displayed by BGINFO4X on the wallpaper. The file will be locally stored on the server, created by the MOE process.

    Hello,

    In OUT.CONF create a line like:

    MOE NUMBER: X cat "full_path_to_your_file"

      Finally got around to trying this. Doesn't work. With the above suggestion, it prints: "MOE NUMBER:" and that's it.

      The file is in the path (just a text file). Correct path is definitely being referenced.

    Open a bash terminal and execute : $ cat "full_path_to_your_file", what do you get?
