If you manage multiple computer systems than BgInfo tool from Microsoft (formal SysInternals) is the right tool to display relevant computer information (CPU,Hostname, IP\/DNS\/DHCP\/Default Gateway, Memory,Disk,etc.)  of the system. I am using this tool on all my virtual and physical host machines to identify what kind of system I am logged on. You can implement different background colors and identify type of machine your are working on. For example use RED for physical host machines; BLUE for virtual machines and YELLOW for lab machines. Couple years ago I also implemented this tool and used the corporate wallpaper on 500+ desktop clients; we also included the numbers of helpdesk and other important information. <\/p>\n
