Guest Angel Tsankov Posted June 28, 2008 Posted June 28, 2008 Hello, How can I change the desktop wallpaper on the logon screen that appears when connecting to a terminal server? By default, it is grey and makes the desktop wallpaper on the console logon screen grey, too. Angel Tsankov

First, make sure the image is in 24-bit BMP format and is stored in the common wallpaper directory "/WinNT/Web/Wallpaper/logon.bmp". "/WinNT/logon.bmp" is fine too. Setup this wallpaper in your profile as it should look. (Tiled, Streched, ....) Open the registry editor and copy the three values "Wallpaper", "WallpaperStyle" and "TileWallpaper" from "HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Control Panel/Desktop" (your profile) to the same values in the key "HKEY_USERS/.DEFAULT/Control Panel/Desktop" (System Profile). Logoff and logon /wo username so the logon prompt is shown. -jolt

Maybe I should approach the problem from another direction: is there a way to change the background color of the console logon screen?

System profile colors are at "HKEY_USERS/.DEFAULT/Control Panel/Colors". Your profile colors are at "HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Control Panel/Colors", same thing. There must be the value "Background". The three intergers are the color components in "REG GREEN BLUE" from 0-255. -jolt

Obviously, the "Background" value is what I was looking for: setting it to "0 0 0" changed the wallpaper from grey to black. Thanks. Oh, is this documented somewhere?
