change log-on screen background in windows 7

hi...friends..today i m going to write about change log on screen background image.

it is easily possible to customize the Windows 7 logon screen and set your own picture/wallpaper as the background.

follow instructions below to customize the logon screen background.

1) The image you need to set as the background should be a .jpg file and it’s size should not exceed 245KB.

2) You can use any of the photo editing software such as paint, photo shop...to change the format and resolution of your image..

3) once you r done...save it as backgroundDefault.jpg

4) now copy this image to :

C:\Windows\system32\oobe\info\backgrounds

if it does not already exist on your computer you will need to create that path

5) now open Registry Editor( start -> run -> type regedit.

6) now goto:

Hot Key Local Machine\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Authentication\
LogonUI\Background

If Background does not exist rightclick LogonUI, select New and then Key, and then name it Background.
Now locate OEMBackground (listed on the right side).
If it does not exist, right-click Background and select New and then DWORD and name it OEMBackground.

7) Double-click on OEMBackground and set the Value Data to 1.

8) Now log-off to see the new logon screen background.

9) if you want to revert back to default background image then just set the Value Data back to 0.
