How to Change the Logon Screen Background in Windows7 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/ wallpaperas 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 imageyou need to set as the background should be a.jpgfile and its size should not exceed245KB. 2.The image resolution can be anything of your choice. However I prefer1440 x 900or1024 x 768. You can use any of the photo editing softwaresuch as Photoshop to compress and set the resolution for your image. Once you’re done, save this image asbackgroundDefault.jpg. 3.You will need to copy this image to the following location: C:\Windows\system32\ oobe\info\backgrounds You will need to create that path if it does not already exist on your computer. 4.Now, open theRegistry Editor(Start -> Run -> Typeregedit) and navigate to the following key: HKLM\Software\ Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersi on\Authentication\ LogonUI\Background If the keyBackgrounddoes not exist, then right- click onLogonUI, selectNew->Key,and then name it asBackground. Now locateOEMBackground(listed on the right side). If it does not exist, right-clickBackgroundand selectNew->DWORDand name itOEMBackground. 5.Double-click onOEMBackgroundand set the Value Data to1. 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 to0.
