Discussion on:

Change and customize Windows 7's Logon screen wallpaper

Many thanks for this article. I have just switched back from a Mac to a PC after 3 years and it has taken me soo long to set things back up.
The shop that I got the new laptop from left their company wallpaper on it so I really wanted to change it over to something with my kids on. Following your guide(to the letter!!) worked a treat.
Thank you!

I like the information I have found on this site so much I actually decided to join. But I do have questions about this article. First I see you list OEM for the O.S. on this tip. What / Where is the information if you do not have the OEM version? Second I am still running vista 32bit with all updates on a laptop. What are the steps for this older program? I have found stuff on other sites, but the information is so old it refers to not being compatible with vista SP1. One other thing I heard a rumor about just adding HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Authentication\LogonUI\Background key. Is this even possible with out causing problems in a NON-OEM version?

For those of you who like to modify a lot of look an feel and other commonly modified settings in windows, please try TweakNow Powerpack 2011. Of course, you can get in trouble with this tool, but it does take a lot of effort and ignoring the prompts and warnings.
It will make all of the settings shown here in an automated fashion. Lots of cool stuff to change as well.....

I do this steps but did not work for me.
I am using windows 7 Ultimate I re-checked everything and no go
what should I do?

I have loaded and built the Login wall paper and now everyone would like to run it as a normal background. Is this possible. I have tried to relocate the file into my screen saver location to no avail. Any possible way??

GREAT little customization! If/when one changes the Windows theme, the DWORD value will have to be reset to 1 if one wants to maintain the custom logon screen.

I love how easy this was to implement. However, I have a question, I have a dual monitor setup...is there anyway to get the picture on both monitors?

Sir ,

After doing all the procedure unable to change the background picture . then what should i do ? please tel me as soon as possible

I find it has to be under 250 KB for it to work. I'm not sure why. Oh well, at least it works!

These instructions worked like a charm, thanks. I put together able to build a small little tool that does the same thing, if you don't want to fiddle with the registry. It also gets around the JPEG and file size limitation. You can find it here: http://www.simplygoodcode.com/2012/08/change-windows-7-logon-screen-wallpaper.html

Thanks again.

I followed the instructions and made sure I've done it right but when I go to the login screen it is completely black, can't even see the user icon. Does anyone now how to fix it (except by changing back)?

Thanks a lot Mr. Greg Shultz! Its really helpuful! Your way of explaining the solution is very nice(Using proper images, steps with clearly explaining what to do & how to do... etc)
I love this!
