How to Change Logon Background in Windows XP?

 

Hi Mdarifsadik,

 

To change your logon background in XP, just click start, in the task bar then run. In the open blank field type, REGEDIT and then press enter on your keyboard.

 

You are now in the registry editor. Here, navigate to the following:

 

HKEY_USERSDEFAULTControl PanelDesktop.

 

You will see a string named "wallpaper", double click on it.

 

Thereafter enter the full path and name of the image/picture you want to use as the background, which should probably be in the .bmp format.

 

Click ok, and then close the registry editor.

 

Restart your computer for the changes to take effect.

 

Hope this helps.
