TSBackdrop Description

TSBackdrop is a lightweight and easy to use piece of software that allows you to display relevant information about Citrix or Terminal Server sessions on the user's desktop background. Items such as the Client Computer Name, Client IP address, Username and the Server which the Client is logged on to, are all displayed in a neat little bitmap that is positioned in the middle of the user's desktop. This is particularly useful for helpdesk calls where the user can quickly provide the details of their session to the helpdesk operator. When placed in the Startup folder of a user's profile, or in a logon script specifically for Terminal Server or Citrix sessions, TSBackdrop simply writes a new desktop bitmap (TSBKDRP.BMP which is around 75 kb in size) to the user's 'My Documents' or 'Personal Folder' and then sets it as the default wallpaper for that session. Each time the user logs on to a Terminal Server or Citrix Session, the information on the bitmap will be updated. The bitmap is purposely small is size to reduce impact on session screen refresh. TSBackdrop will function on all versions of Terminal Server and Citrix platforms. It will not function on non-Terminal Server Operating Systems.
