This was a little trick I figured out while I was tinkering tonight in the Registry Editor clearing out some junk, clutter and other corrupt files.
I was getting tired of that old boring blue windows default screen when I log on to Windows 7, so I figured there has to be a way to change it. Poking around I figured out how.
1. Run your 'regedit' from your start menu. When it opens, open the following path:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Authentication\LogonUI\Background
2. Once in, right click on 'OEMBackground' file and click modify. Set the data value to 1. Click 'Ok' then close out of the Registry Editor.
3. Next go to 'My Computer' and open the following path C:\Windows\System32\Oobe
4. Once in the 'Oobe' folder create a folder called 'Info' or create a new one and over write the current one.
5. In the new 'Info' folder create one more folder called 'backgrounds'
6. At this point simply copy and paste a .JPG of your choice (preferably with the same screen resolution) and name it 'backgroundDefaut'. If there is a file there already, over write it. (Note: The file has to be less then 256KB or it won't work)
7. Log off, or lock your PC and presto, your new image will appear on your logon screen!
