Does anyone know whether it is possible to change the Winlogon Desktop /
Secure Desktop, that is displayed before the user desktop is displayed?

Thanks

Are you referring to the CTRL+ALT+DEL option?

If you want the CTRL+ALT+DEL to appear before selecting a user and password
then edit the registry here,

[HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\pol icies\system]
Name: DisableCAD
Type: REG_DWORD
Value: 0 (CRTL+ALT+DEL is on at logon) 1 (CRTL+ALT+DEL is off at logon)

or

[HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]
Name: DisableCAD
Type: REG_DWORD
Value: 0 (CRTL+ALT+DEL is on at logon) 1 (CRTL+ALT+DEL is off at logon)

Thanks for your response, although I dont think that I explained the question
well enough:

After a user has entered their domain logon credentials on a Windows XP
computer a 'Winlogon Desktop / Secure Desktop' is used until the user desktop
is loaded. Is there any way that I can change the 'Winlogon Desktop / Secure
Desktop' to display a different background?

Change the Windows Logon screen background color
http://windowsxp.mvps.org/logonbg.htm

[Courtesy of Ramesh Srinivasan, MVP]

For Wallpaper on the logon screen.

[HKEY_USERS\.Default\Control Panel\Desktop]
Name: Wallpaper
Type: REG_SZ
Data: Path to the Wallpaper picture.

Wallpaper Style

[HKEY_USERS\.Default\Control Panel\Desktop]
Name: WallpaperStyle
Type: REG_SZ
Data: 0 (Tile or Center); 2 (Stretch).

[HKEY_USERS\.Default\Control Panel\Desktop]
Name: TileWallpaper
Type: REG_SZ
Data: 0 (Tile is off); 1 (Tile is on).

You may need to restart the computer for changes to take affect.

Thanks again.

However I have tried this already and this only changed the desktop
background briefly (under a second). Until the Winlogon Desktop is diaplyed
again.

Are you on a Domain? If you are on a Domain then Group Policy is probably
preventing you from changing these values. Talk to your Domain
Administrator, he/she may change this for you.

Yes we are on a Domain, however there is nothing in Group Policy that is
preventing these values from changing.

Not sure what is causing this, does it happen on all the computer on the
domain or just that computer?

It happends on a number of computers (which have also been rebuilt). I have
also tried it on Virtual computers and the same issue still occurs.

Have you tried using TweakUI? TweakUI can transfer settings to the Logon
screen from your Desktop.

Microsoft PowerToys for Windows XP
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/d...powertoys.mspx

Download and install TweakUI.

When you run Tweak then go to Logon > Settings. Here you can choose the
settings you require to be transferred to the Logon screen.
