Customize the Windows 7 login screen

This video shows you how to modify your Windows login screen background without having to download any 3rd party files! This is convenient if you are worried about getting viruses, and simply want to do it yourself.

This involves registry editing, so be sure to back everything up before proceeding.

Instructions:
-Type regedit in RUN or Startmenu search box and press Enter. It'll open Registry Editor.
-Now go to the following key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Wi ndows\CurrentVersion\Authentication\Logo nUI\Background
-Now in right-side pane, change the value of OEMBackground to 1.
-Now go to the following folder: %windir%\System32\oobe
-Create a new folder and name it "info" inside the oobe folder.
-Create a new folder and name it "backgrounds" inside the info folder.
-Now copy any desired wallpaper to this new "backgrounds" folder but the following conditions must be followed:
+-The image name must be backgroundDefault.jpg.
+-The image size must be less than 256 KB.
+-The image format must be JPG.

Once you follow these steps, you'll have your own spiffy new login screen!
