How to Change Windows7 Logon Screen Back Ground

Hey guys… Have you ever wondered how to change your Logon Screen Background in Windows7 just like you change your desktop background….?!?
It’s a very simple trick….
RULE#1. The image you need to set as the background should be a .jpg file and it’s size should not exceed 245KB.
• The image resolution can be anything of your choice. However it is better to have the ones with 1440 x 900 or 1024 x 768. You can use any of the photo editing software such as Photoshop to compress and set the resolution for your image. Once you’re done, save this image as backgroundDefault.jpg.
• You will need to copy this image to
C:\Windows\system32\oobe\info\backgrounds
You will need to create that path if it does not already exist on your computer.
• Now open the Registry Editor (Start -> Run -> Type regedit) and navigate to the following key
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Authentication\LogonUI\Background
Note: 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.
• Double-click on OEMBackground and set the Value Data to 1.
• 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 to 0.

Hope You Enjoyed the post!!! Cheers!!!
