When opening Remote Desktop to different Windows servers, it is easy to confuse two remote desktops.

How do I get each remote server to automatically display some system information as desktop wallpaper, ie. Computer Name, Operating System, IP Address, etc.

I've used BGInfo from the SysInternals guys to do this in the past.
