Changing Welcome screen background

I was wondering if there is any way of changing the welcome screen
background? If so how?

Re: Changing Welcome screen background

No. Windows File Protection protects system files from change (without a
'hotfix' certificate from Microsoft). That background is within a system
file.

Did you follow the link I provided?

On that page was a link to download LogonStudio:

http://www.stardock.com/products/log.../downloads.asp

On that page you are offered a choice whether to download the XP or Vista
version.

Since this a Vista group, I'd suspect that you'd want to download the one
for Vista, install it, and then use it to set the Welcome Screen
background to any picture you have on your computer.

I used it a while back, and I don't remember it being very hard.
