Command line options appear on startup, Win10

I am trying to add BGinfo to our machines to help users identify some basic information when contacting the IT department, I've added a shortcut to the startup folder and it will start BGinfo properly.i used:

C:\BGInfo\Bginfo.exe /silent /accepteula /nolicprompt /timer:00 BGconfig.bgi

this should start BGinfo for any user on any machine once they sign into the machine. the main issue is that when the user signs in the BGinfo command line options window also appears. is there any way i can stop that from happening? do i need to add a command to the shortcut?

Hi @AlexandreTavares-2892

Please see the following link for a full guide on how to set up BGInfo:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/bginfo

The main issue is the timer:5, we need to set timer:0 in order to not display customisation screen.

I do hope this answers your question.

Thanks.

The timer is already set to 0 and was so when first written. the issue is not specifically the main menu of BGinfo but the specific subsection regarding the command line options appearing on startup/user login
