I want to display a user's account type (usually standard or administrator) on the desktop using Sysinternals' BGinfo.
I believe employing a WMI query to show the accounttype "value" (Class Property?) is a possible approach but I cannot figure out a working WMI query.

Perhaps not quite the answer you were after but as BGInfo also supports VBScript. If that is an option for you then the following script may be helpful:
dim strUser : strUser = CreateObject("Wscript.Network").UserName
dim blnFound : blnFound = false
for each objUser in GetObject("WinNT://./Administrators").Members
if objUser.Name = strUser then
Echo strUser & " is a member of local administrators."
blnFound = true
end If
next
if blnFound = false then
Echo strUser & " is not a member of local administrators"
end if

Is the VBS option in BGInfo viable for what you need? E.g. https://pastebin.com/KW2FWWi4 AccountType (msdn.microsoft.com/library/aa394507(v=vs.85).aspx) isn't what you want.

Thank you @HelpingHand for the script. It works perfectly! How can I give you credit here? – user428697 – 2017-10-09T03:31:12.413
