Change Background Color in WinPE 2.0

[nopants]

Instead of using a full bitmap that will be stretched depending on resolution, I use a small centered bitmap and match the background color to it. Changing the background in WinPE 1.6 works but always defaults to black in WinPE 2.0. I am applying this reg entry to the DEFAULT hive:

[HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Colors]

"Background"="0 78 152"

I also tried modifying the Winlogon\Background reg entry to no avail.

Any ideas? I am thinking I might just switch to black or go with a full screen bitmap.

The system profile hive (NTUSER.DAT) in WinPE 2.0/2.1 is located @ \Windows\system32\config\systemprofile inside the WIM. If you change the settings inside that hive it should work.

That doesn't seem to work either.

It's worth pointing out that HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Colors does reflect the correct Background color.

In either case the background color is still black.

So far I have tried

Winlogon

\Windows\system32\config\DEFAULT

\Windows\system32\config\systemprofile\ntuser.dat
