@jaredbusch Yes, in this case no one uses the computer, it's just setup for display. No one except her uses it.
So YES.

So YES.Sounds like a post-it note on the monitor is the correct solution here

A post it doesn't scroll information on the bottom of the screen.

More information that might have been assertive in the beginning.

Correct, it doesn't scroll, but it can display static information, which is what you're describing.

Yes but she wants it to scroll several different things.

Several different post-it notes then. Sorry. Couldn't resist.

Yes, the end user says that is too complicated.

OK, time to find something else then.. or - heck, hire JB's team of programmers to write something.

I'm being dead serious here, have you asked her if post-it notes would work? If she needs a reminder to tell the customer to have a good day or that toilet paper is 10% off, it seriously could be the correct solution. I have coworkers that have up to 10 post-its on the monitor, phone, etc. at any given time. We also use label makers to more permanently attach certain things like "Transfer * Ext = VM" right on the phone...

Maybe it is a ticker for her password, lol.

@bnrstnr, clearly we are looking for a technical solution to a procedural issue.
People are likely making their desks look like a child's play area, and the manager wants to stop it.

Just change her password to "Incorrect" so when she can't login the computer says "Your password is Incorrect."
