Tuesday, 27 July 2010 10:03 by Dexter

Windows 7 makes it easy changing the Windows log-on screen.

1. Go to start, and click on Run, type Regedit & press enter there.

2. Navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Authentication\LogonUI\Background

3. Double-click the "OEMBackground" DWORD key

4. Set value of the key to 1.

5. Select a background image for Logon Screen with size less than 256KB in size (Use of Image Resize software like VSO Resizer can help)

6. Copy that image into the C:\Windows\system32\oobe\info\backgrounds folder

7. Rename the image to backgroundDefault.jpg

8. Reboot, and now your logon Image would have changed.
