it either on or off and thats it?

Not sure what you mean by personalise - if you mean one person sees it and
another doesn't, then that's impossible because it appears before anyone
logs on. Elaborate please.

Can I add my own picture as a background or change
the 'welcome' message?

Hey Sean,

That's quite impossible. Changing the background or changing the 'welcome'
message. However, don't give up there's a program that allows you to this.

The program is called StarDock: LogonStudio
More information visit: http://www.stardock.com/products/logonstudio/

Hope this information is useful!

Regards,
Jose Francisco

You can toggle between the XP- and the more "sober" Win2K-look (which
unfortunately doesn't support fast user switching).

If you mean you want to alter the _look_ of it -- well, I can't tell
you how to do it all by yourself.

However, tgtsoft (http://www.tgtsoft.com) have a bunch of tools to
thoroughly alter the look of the Windows GUI (window "decoration",
logon screens, and so on). There are _many_ ready-made themes
available for download.

With their styleBuilder and resBuilder tools you can also roll your
own.
