xp pro login screen customize

[itgeek]

Hi I am wanting to change the xp pro login screen background to a custom image. I only want to chnage the login screen and not the background after the user has loggerd in. Does anyone know how to do this?

You need to create a folder, say on the C: drive, to hold the background image.

 

Then edit the registry key to point to the new BITMAP image.

 

Type: 'regedit' into the run box

 

Browse to: My Computer\HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Desktop

 

Edit the 'Wallpaper' value to the path of the new background. Eg: C:\backgound\image.bmp

Open registry and navigate to:

 

HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Desktop

 

Double click on "Wallpaper" string and enter the location of your background under Value data.

Will this change the background when the user has logged in? I was just wanting it when they got the ctrl alr del screen?

 

 

thanks

there right .. mines moded ..

i have this in a tweak.reg

 

you can point this to the server as well ..

 

make a hiden share called images$

and change line below all this to whats below...

"Wallpaper"="\\Server\\images$\\Wallpapers\\image.bmp"

then you can change the walpaper with out loading it on to every PC. like i have.

cood for things like 30th oct, 5th nov...i'll make this one simle Xmas.. and so on..
