Automatically update Windows background with vital information.

If you're big into keeping tabs on your system specs and statistics, you might want to check out BGInfo.

BGInfo is a freeware utility which updates the background of your Windows desktop PC and provides numerous current details about your system.

Among the interesting technical details that can be displayed on your desktop background are boot time, CPU details, current free space on installed hard drives, your network hostname and installed memory.

The program doesn't actually necessarily modify your background image itself, but instead adds a text overlay of the desired information you'd like displayed. Positioning of this text can be modified in the program.

All in all, BGInfo is a cool little utility which runs low on system resources and can be configured to your own liking.
