Windows 7 Tip – Change the login screen background

Written By: admin on March 1, 2010 25 Comments

I hope you liked this popular tip! Please RATE for more! Cheers all! Video notes: Navigate in the registry to HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\currentversion\Authentication\logonui\Background Then see if there is a DWORD value called oembackground and if so set the Hex value to 1. If you do not have oembackground then you need to create a new DWORD value key called oembackground first. After you are done navigate to c:\windows\system32\oobe\ and create a info folder and then inside it create a backgrounds folder and put a JPEG file in there that is less than 256KB and call the file name backgrounddefault.jpg , then reboot and your done!
