Guest Englisch101 Posted October 18, 2009 Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 I have a question! When I login to windows it gives me a different background at the login screen then the one i have set for my background normally. Even the color is different, how do I fix it so my login screen has the same background? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austin Posted October 23, 2009 Report Share Posted October 23, 2009 If you are using the Non-welcome XP login screen method then there is a set default background the Microsoft uses. I don't know why Microsoft decided to have a unique background for the login screen. I also don't know why Microsoft decided that putting in an easy way to change it wasn't necessary. To Add a Image to the Windows XP login Screen. 1. Click the Start menu, then Click Run. 2. Type in regedit and click ok. 3. Go to HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\CONTROL PANEL\DESKTOP 4. Open the registry string "wallpaper" 5. Type in the full path of the .bmp image that you want to use as background. example: C:\Documents and Settings\User\My Documents\Pictuers\background.bmp To change the color only Same steps as above, except in registry editor, go to HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\CONTROL PANEL\COLORS - modify the string "background" - By default value it's 0 78 152, you can change this RGB code to whatever color you want. 0 0 0 = Black Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dw96 Posted July 12, 2010 Report Share Posted July 12, 2010 Had no idea this was possible, I need to figure out how to do this in Windows 7 now For Windows 7 you can use a few programs: [Free] Windows 7 Logon Background Changer [Paid] TuneUp Utilities's Feature to change the Logon Screen (From TuneUp, go to the "Customize Windows" section and choose "Logon Screen") Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
