Does anyone know how to customize the logo on the lock workstation dialog box? Or the login screen win-2000 style?
If you don't know what I'm talking about, that's the window you get when you lock your computer with superkey+L

I've got my linux looking beautiful, and I thought I'd customize windows as well instead of seeing the Windows XP logo. I know it can be done, because when I used to be in highschool, they put a picture of the school as the logo. I've been googleing for atleast two and a half hours and I can't find anything. I can't find anything about it in the registry; Anyone know how to do it?
 
To get it windows 2000 style go to the control Panel, then user accounts, then change the way users log on and off, then click on fast user switching, and that should do it.
 
That's not what I'm asking, when you enable that, there is a picture ontop of the logon window. It's a rectangular picture that says Microsoft Windows XP Pro and has the windows logo and a copyright notice. I want to know how to change that picture to a custom one, you know like you can set up your own oem logo or you can change the start menu button to say pretty much anything. And you can change that picture, I've seen done but I have no idea how?
 
Design an appropriate bitmap and place it in your NT directory as YourLogoName.BMP. Use 8.3 naming convention.
Edit: HKEY_USERS \.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Desktop
Double click or Add Value REG_SZ of Wallpaper and set it to the full path to YourLogoName.BMP.
Double click or Add Value REG_SZ of TileWallpaper. 0 is Don't tile, 1 is tile.
Double click or Add Value REG_SZ of WallpaperStyle. 0 is normal, 2 is stretch to fill the screen (which is mutually exclusive with TileWallpaper = 1).
If you use a normal, not tiled logo, you can position it by adding 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
Reboot to view your handywork. See Tip 205.
NOTE: If you set WallpaperOriginX and WallpaperOriginY to 0, it centers the wallpaper. If you meant top left corner, set both to 1.
Click to expand...

See if it's right.
 
no, that changes the wallpaper behind the login window, not on it. That's the wallpaper you get when the gui starts and before the login prompt shows up. Thanks anyway. Any more guesses?
