    Is it possible to use this only for showing the information on a popup window by request?
    If so, does copying work from that window?

    We currently have Bginfo in all our Windows workstations - not showing anything on the desktop.
    Users can launch the Bginfo window from a keyboard shortcut. Only problem is, they can't copy the text to clipboard so they need to use screen capture to send the information to service desk etc (or type it).

    Hello,

    Yes, all what you want is possible. Use these variables from the custom file:

    1- Disable the writing of BGINFO4X to the wallpaper -> SECUREMODE="ON"
    2- Enable the exporting to an HTML file -> HTMLEXPORT="YES"
    3- If you want only the last information (don't save historic data) -> HTMLDELETE="YES"

    4- Create a shortcut for the file EXPORT/BGINFO4X.html.
    5- Put the shortcut where you want (Start Menu, Desktop, hidden folder ,...).
    6- Assign a hotkey to the shortcut, so your preferred browser can open it.
    7- Copy the information from your browser and send to service desk (paste to the email) .

    Do you have some question?

    Regards.

    Ah, I didn't think of pointing to a html export file.
    Thanks for the tip.
