- Background picture for winlogon
- Posted by Kazuo Maeike on November 21st, 2003
Is there a way to display a background picture when the
login box is displayed rather than the default 'blueish'
color background?

Yes, you must edit the registry and change the value so it refers to your
image.
HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Desktop\Wallpaper
The value type is REG_SZ and and example could be:
c:\windows\mywallpaper.bmp
Notice there is a dot before DEFAULT (.DEFAULT).
Be carefull when you edit the registry, if you make a mistake .... I could

Edit the wallpaper setting as wanted, then open REGEDIT, go to
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop
export the key.
The result will look like (after deleting the items not needed):
===BEGIN===
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop]
"TileWallpaper"="0"
"Wallpaper"="C:\\INSTALL\\test2.bmp"
"WallpaperStyle"="0"
===EOF===
Change it to:
===BEGIN of File===
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Desktop]
"TileWallpaper"="0"
"Wallpaper"="C:\\INSTALL\\test2.bmp"
"WallpaperStyle"="0"
===EOF===
Run this file and reboot
Ciao, Walter
