Windows 7 Tips: Customize Windows 7 log-on screen

Windows 7 makes it easy changing the Windows log-on screen.

1.  Go to start, and click on Run, type Regedit & press enter there.

2 .Navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\
Windows\CurrentVersion\Authentication\LogonUI\Background

3.  Double-click the OEMBackground DWORD key

4.  Set value of the key to 1.

5.  Select a background image for Logon Screen with size less than 256KB in size (Use of Image Resize software like VSO Resizer can help) 

6.  Copy that image into the C:\Windows\system32\oobe\info\backgrounds folder  

7.  Rename the image to backgroundDefault.jpg 

8.  Reboot, and now your logon Image would have changed.

Here is my logon screen:
