Anando, Please answer the questions and please don't condescend. Your solution doesn't work quite the way you've described. What should we do? It's not hijacking the thread. A solution still hasn't been provided.

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.

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.

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.

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