I have looked, but there isn't a way to redirect - at least not in this release/version.

You can do this "Bitmap->Location" however I've got mine set to "Users TEMP dir" and it seems to use this the first time but THEN starts using the system TEMP dir...

Hiya,

We are trying to use bginfo on an Active Directory setup and having a big problem.

When an administrator loggs in the bginfo works fine, but standard users are not allowed to write files to any directory apart from their My Documents and desktop folder - hense the error message when bginfo tries to write to the windows directory.

Any switches to change the location of the bmp ?

Many thnanks,

 

Shaun
