Welcome Screen Wallpaper
"user" wrote in message
... Does anyone know how to change the welcome screen wallpaper? Hi, I too am facing similar issues with my windows XP professional (version 2002, service pack 1). I tried both the tweaks mentioned in this thread. 1) Changing the HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Desktop\Wallpaper key to the one I want. making sure that the image is a bit map image (.bmp). making sure that there are no spaces in the path, and putting the whole path in quotes anyways. Result - no success 2) Using tweak UI to copy my current wallpaper to the welcome screen. When I select the "wallpaper" and "screensaver" and hit the copy button, tweak UI informs that the computer need to be rebooted. However after clicking on the OK button in the messages, the checks are gone. Since nothing happened after rebooting, next time i checked the checkboxes and hit the appy button instead of copy, the tick marks stayed, but after the reboot the changes weren't reflected. (The value of the regsitry key HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Desktop\Wallpaper, did get changed to the current wallpaper path, but still nothing comes up on the welcome screen). Any more input on this one? TIA -Ranjit |

Welcome Screen Wallpaper
I tried that, it doesn't work (EX: C:\Document and
Settings\omni\Desktop\Images\Sky.jpg Is that right?) -----Original Message----- Hi, If you want to do it the old-fashioned way, open the registry editor (Start Run REGEDIT ) and navigate to HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Desktop and double click on 'wallpaper' on the right pane and enter the full path to the wallpaper of your choice. -- Anando Microsoft MVP- Windows Shell/User http://www.microsoft.com/mvp http://www.mvps.org Folder customizations http://newdelhi.sancharnet.in/minku Protect your PC! http://www.microsoft.com/protect "user" wrote in message ...

It has to be a .BMP (bitmap) file only.
