How would you like to change the logon screen background in Windows 7 so
as to give your Windows a customized look and feel? With a small tweak
it is possible to customize the Windows 7 logon screen and set your own
picture/wallpaper as the background. Changing logon screen background in
Windows 7 is as simple as changing your desktop wallpaper. Well here is
a step by step instruction to customize the logon screen background. 1.
The image you need to set as the background should be a .jpg file and
it’s size should not exceed 245KB. 2. The image resolution can be
anything of your choice. However I prefer 1440 x 900 or 1024 x 768. You
can use any of the photo editing software such as Photoshop to compress
and set the resolution for your image. Once you’re done, save this image
as backgroundDefault.jpg. 3. You will need to copy this image to
C:\Windows\system32\oobe\info\backgroundsYou
will need to create that path if it does not already exist on your
computer. 4. Now open the Registry Editor (Start -> Run -> Type
regedit) and navigate to the following key
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Authentication\
LogonUI\BackgroundIf Background does not exist rightclick LogonUI,
select New and then Key, and then name it Background. Now locate
OEMBackground (listed on the right side). If it does not exist,
right-click Background and select New and then DWORD and name it
OEMBackground. 5. Double-click on OEMBackground and set the Value Data
to 1. 6. Now log-off to see the new logon screen background. If you
would like to revert back to the default background, just set the Value
Data back to 0. I hope you like this trick. Just try out and give your
feedback!
