Look for IT over here

The wallpaper presented to you at the logon screen in Windows 7 gets pretty boring quickly. Easy to change? Relatively. You can find some third party tools, or have a go yourself with the instructions below:

1. Press win+r key and Type Regedit at run prompt

2. Locate following registry key

HK Local Machine\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Authentication\LogonUI\Background

3. Now in right-side pane, change value of OEMBackground to 1.

4. Now place your custom image in %windir%\system32\oobe

5. Create a new folder info and background within newly created info folder

Folder path should look like this %windir%\System32\oobe\info\backgrounds

6. Now place your desired logon wallpaper within this background folder with file
name as backgroundDefault.jpg
