Change Windows 7 logon screen "MANUALLY"


Most people think that changing Windows logon screen is a dangerous process,and can only be done with the help of a software.Let's remove this myth today by following this simple process-

  • Go to Start=>Run and type "regedit"
  • Browse to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Authentication\LogonUI\Background in REGEDIT, double-click the DWORD key called OEMBackground (not there? Create it) and set its value to 1.
  • Now find a background image you'd like to use. Make sure it's less than 256KB in size, and matches the aspect ratio of your screen as it'll be stretched to fit.
  • Now,copy that image into the C:\Windows\system32\oobe\info\backgrounds folder (create the info\backgrounds folders if they don't exist). Rename the image to backgroundDefault.jpg.
  • Reboot your PC,and you should now have a custom log-on image.
