What guide? All I see is a registry key you pointed me to. Do you mean these
URLS?:http://www.microsoft.com/mvp, http://www.anando.org/blog

Looking through your blog (which seems mainly about Vista anyway)I do not
find anything about customising the logon screen background...

Hi

I've tried that, it didn't make any difference, XP just ignored it. Does
the
new BMP have to match the default BMP exactly in height and width? Does
it
have to be in brackets, eg [D:\LogonBG.bmp]? And do I have to include
the
filetype in the new value?

Even after rebooting or logging off XP just ignores any tweak I make.

Hello Tim,

If you are trying to change the default wallpaper for the logon screen,
launch the registry editor and navigate to:

HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Desktop

Change the data of the 'Wallpaper' string to the fully qualified path
of
the
desired BMP.

I have tried TweakUILogonWallpaper, and I have tried using ResHack,
and
I
have tried using the few registry hacks that are out there, but not
one
of
them works! Whatever changes I make don't seem to take, and it goes
back
to
default. I think maybe it's because Windows File Protection is
stopping
any
changes, though most of the tweaks I've read out there don't seem to
mention
WFP at all. And yes I am the administrator of this pc, I have full
access.

Any ideas? All I want to do is change the logon background
image...seems
simple enough.
