:Elaugh here?

[hermit]

yes!

do u know what is da default value of that key?

thx

[Guest LouCypher]

Yeah, it's blank by default.

HKEY_USERS.DEFAULTControl PanelColorsBackground

is the location of the default background color for classic logon. RGB Value, with spaces seperating each color (ex. 00 00 00 is Black)

[hermit]

thx!

u know the answer for my big question buddy?!?!?!?

[hermit]

u sure its "blank" by default?

do u know if there's any other key that controls that wallpaper thing?

cuz i changed to blank....and it doesn't look like what my comp was used to be

[zErO]

u can get a prog called xp loginUI which does it for u, check it out its at various xp sites or let me know and I will post a site for u

[hermit]

that's another story

i m concerned about the wallpaper thingy and the color thing...not the logon screen itself

can u check for me to see if the key is really "blank" by default?

cuz making it "blank" looks weird to me during startup

[hermit]

forget it

guess lou is right

[Guest LouCypher]

Yep, it's blank by default. On every version of Windows that I've changed it on. What was yours before you set it back to blank? What is coming up as the background now?

Do search on your system for *.BMP and then look at those and figure out the filename of the graphic that is popping up.

Open regedit and do a search for the filename and see if it comes up anywhere interesting. If it does, you might be able to remove it from the registry or change it. This is of course [b:7ec5ec4f21]only[/b:7ec5ec4f21] if your background is being set by something that looks at the registry and not an .INI file for the graphic location. If it's in an .INI instead you can do a search for files containing text = the filename of the graphic.
