Secure Desktop background change

Q

You know when you hit Ctrl+Alt+Del you get a different background (That Windows blue or the Vista logo)? How do you change that? I KNOW it's possible since I've seen it done (BlueSun did it on 2000)...

After a quick trip to Google, I found this link:

Customize the logon screen wallpaper, screensaver and other settings using Tweak UI

It also includes manual registry editing instructions.

I hope this is the answer you were looking for or at least helps you out.

Q

Doesn't seem to be it in Vista, since the "Wallpaper" key isn't there regardless.

I'm not sure how things have changed in Vista.

But in 2000, under HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Desktop

there was a string called Wallpaper with the value being whatever you wanted as your wallpaper.

That would work for XP and 2000.

But since I haven't played around on Vista long enough to find out, I couldn't say how to do it under Vista.

Q

Darn, that key doesn't exist there, but it HAS to exist somewhere. I've SEEN it change.

If I had a Vista machine, I could probably tell you and I haven't gotten around to installing Vista on the computers at school

X-setup used to do it on XP, so maybe that'd work.
