windows 7 logo
Its Good to know that Microsoft has finally incorporated a new feature in the latest build (7057) of Windows 7 which supports the end user to change the logon screen background without using any hacks or third-party tools.
In other versions of windows you have to use some hacks of third-party tools to change the logon screen. But in win7 you can officially customize your logon screen to your wish.


Follow these steps to change your Windows 7 logon screen.

1) The image should be a .JPG and no more than 245 KB.
2) Image resolution can be your choice.
3) Now download the reg file from here and extract it to your hard drive and double-click on the file to enable this feature (Alternative method: right-click, select Merge).
4) Now navigate to C:WindowsSystem32oobe and here, create a new folder named "Info". Again, create a new folder inside the Info folder and rename it as "backgrounds".
5) Now copy your .JPG pic to this "backgrounds" folder and rename it to "backgroundDefault".
6) Thats it. Reboot your system and see the change.

The following files (sorted by width-to-height ratio) are supported in  C:WindowsSystem32oobeInfoBackgrounds folder:

► backgroundDefault.jpg

► background900×1440.jpg  (0.625)
