They gave us a choice to change the default LogIn screen, but they didn't make it easy.

It's a two step process.

First, copy the .JPG file you want to use to "C:\Windows\System32\oobe\Info\backgrounds\backgroundDefault.JPG" My system was missing the Info and backgrounds folders, so I had to create them.

Next, edit the Registry, changing this key's data from 0 to 1.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Authentication\LogonUI\Background] "OEMBackground"=dword:00000001

Re-boot.

Note: The image file you choose must be 256KB or smaller.

Cheers, PW.
