How to Change Windows 7 Logon Screen

Do you like this story?

Are you bored with the same log screen daily. Here is the trick to change that screen image. Just follow the instructions:

1.Open run mode (i.e windows key + R)

2.Then type regedit and hit enter

Now navigate to

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Authentication\LogonUI\Background

Change value of OEMBackground to 1. ( double click OEMBackground and change the value 0 to 1)

change,change logon screen,windows 7,windows logon screen,change windows logon

Now open the path C:\Windows\System32\oobe\info

And create a new folder with the name “backgrounds”

(i.e C:\Windows\System32\oobe\info\backgrounds)

Now copy paste your own image to this folder and rename the image to “backgrounddefault.jpg”
and refresh the PC.

Finally press windows key + L now you can see your own logon screen.

Note:

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

2. The image resolution can be anything of your choice. However i prefer 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.

3.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.
