One of my technician just ask me this question and I need answer.

He asked me how can we setup the background image on the login screen?

    There's a registry key to set it with, but at the moment it escapes where it is

    Looks like there is some good resources here: http://www.petri.co.il/forums/showthread.php?t=3694

    The Windows IT Pro link is for Windows 2000, but it might work for XP/2003 as well. It looks like it's a fairly involved process.

    I wasn't thinking correctly. I guess that too much work on project management and network infrastructure. I admit that I forgot many thing that I learned after I don't use it for a while.

    Is it mean that I'm getting old? I'm in trouble....

    Thanks guys.

    Personally, I don't like images there - I prefer to have a screen with system information. That is probably because I have many clients to look after and if i am doing remote support on 3 or 4 it makes life much easier.

    Ah, I bet that's what is on the UltimateCD4Windows disk. I noticed this on the screen, but didn't look too much into it.

    That is what it is. But they named it myinfo. So, if you want to make some font changes etc.. then that is what you will look for icon_wink.gif
