Hi,
Do not waste your time with a stupid program called ( Logon Studio ) that limited us from usuing it on Vista 64 BIT. Instead, learn how to change the logon picture in vista 64 BIT by changing "imageres.dll" in system directory.
1. Download XN resources

2. Install XN resources
3. In the C:\ create 2 folders label: login backup and new login
4. Go to C:\windows\system32 and find the file "imageres.dll" (without the quotes)
5. Create a backup of that file by copying it to your c:\login backup folder.
6. Go back to c:\windows\system32 and right click on the file imageres.dll and then click on properties.
7. Now click on the following:
- Click the security tab
- click on Advanced
- click on the owner Tab
- click Edit (UAC appears continue)
- Select the "Administators" and click apply
A message will appear, click ok.
And keep on cliking OK until all the setting windows has been closed off.
8.Right click on imageres.dll again and click on properties.
click on the security tab, click edit (UAC=continue)
select the "administrators" and select allow full control.
Click Apply and OK.
- Close off everything until you reached your desktop
9. Get a pic you want for the login or create on on your own.
The picture you want to use will have to be the size of the current resolution your using.
e.g. If your resolution is 1600x1200 then the login picture will have to be 1600x1200.
If the picture you want is too large then resize it with a pictureing editing program of your choice.
10. When your done save it as a bmp format. (Tried it with jpg, but it does not work maybe I did it wrong)
11. Open up XN resources editor, click on View and select option.
Under "Choose which parser..." select "XN Resource Editor internal resource parser". Click Apply and OK.
12. Click File, open, navigate to C:\windows\system32 and open imageres.dll
13. Once opened you should see a list of folder to your left. Expand the "Image" folder and
inside you should see a list of addition folders with numbers on it. These individual folders are
the files to your login image. Change the one associated to your screen resolution. To do that you'll have
to look at each one until you find the right file.
This work has been done for you...
The first 4 digits are the folder names.
Folder and resolution may differ from monitor to monitor. What that means is your folder and
resolution may not be the same as the ones on the list. This was done on a standard 19" LCD.
