Tips: "Customize the logon bitmap"

Tips: You can make Windows NT display a customized bitmap during logon.

Solution: Design an appropriate bitmap and place it in your NT directory as "TheLogogName.bmp". The best way is to save it with 256 colors, not bigger than the default screen resolution and using 8.3 naming convention.

Then klick on "Start", choose "run", and type "regedit" (or "regedt32") and klick on "OK".

Locate the Registry subkey:

HKEY_USERS
  \.DEFAULT
   \Control Panel
    \Desktop

  • Add a new REG_SZ value called "Wallpaper" and set it to the full path of the "TheLogogName.bmp".
  • Add a new REG_SZ value called "TileWallpaper" and set it to "0" if you don't want it to tile or "1" if you want it to tile.
  • Add a new REG_SZ value called "WallpaperStyle" and set it to "0" which is normal, or "2" ifyou want it to stretch and fill the screen.
  • If you use "0" (normal) on the "WallpaperStyle" you can position it with the following REG_SZ values:
    "WallpaperOriginX" set to the number of pixels from the left hand edge of the screen.
    "WallpaperOriginY" set to the number of pixels from the top of the screen.

From the parameter list, select "ScreenSaveActive", choose String on the Edit menu. In the String field, change the value from "0" to "1" and choose OK.
