Finally there is an official way of setting a text file as your Desktop Background: <a href="http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb897557.aspx" title="Windows Sysinternals BgInfo">Windows Sysinternals BgInfo</a>.
This tool can show a lot of information about your system but may also show the contents of a Textfile: Press the button `Custom...` on the right and then `New...`. There you may select `Contents of a file` and include a path to the text file.
After you saved the BfInfo config file somewhere on your system, you can call BgInfo in the following way to update the background image:
```Winbatch
bginfo c:\System\config\bginfo.bgi /timer:0
```
This may be useful to show log files that you want to keep an eye on or the shadowfile of your favorite TaskWarrior report.
