Thanks for making the steps to changing the logon screen wallpaper so easy! In addition to adding personal touches to the background, I wanted to let you know that you can also change the logon box with just a few tweaks. The steps are pretty easy and users are able to get a sleek, modern logon box that didn’t originally make it to the final Windows Vista product. You can find more info on how to do it here: http://bit.ly/dXwmfN

How is this not a ‘manual hack’? The registry is a pile of hacks.

in regedit, where the key should be:
- right click
- click “New…”
- click “DWORD (32-bit) Value”
- call it “OEMBackground”
- set it’s value to be 1

That should work…
