Edit the Win XP Welcome Screen

[maqk]

How to change the Win XP Welcome Screen background (one with the pics of all users on the PC as buttons)?

I want to do it my self that is either edit the graphics after locating the files or editing the registry (HKEY USERS ....)

Please don't tell names of freewares that do all.

And by the way... we have a whole section for logonui and bootscreens. Look around a little next time before posting.

Google, c'mon, please help & please don't get angry for what i did, i know i did wrong to ask a very famous question that according to you is itself a category on these forums, i m not here to create spam

But i was so impatient, & i am human, to err is human right

You sent me Google link to look for it myself, i did that ALREADY & thats how I found YOU, MSFN.org, i made a mistake to make you nagry, you made even bigger, now i am trying to find where is that category/section. Currently i am looking in Win XP Visual Tweaks, may be its not there, if you are online & ready to HELP, please guide if i am searching the wrong place

Calm down. I'm not mad.

Here's the forum you want. Good luck with your question.

The particular file you'll want to edit is logonui.exe, and you'll need some sort of resource editor. Resource Hacker is a good one, and it's free. There is a registry setting in HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon to set which file to use as the logonui, so when you make your new file, save is as mylogon.exe or something like that and change UIhost to that same name. A reboot should do it for you.

And welcome to MSFN, too.
