The next six registry values affect the way the default logon screen looks. Remember, when you work with the HKEY_USERS hive, your changes affect all users for the system.
I-125 | Hive: | HKEY_USERS |
Key: | Default\Control Panel\Desktop | |
Value Name: | Wallpaper | |
Data Type: | REG_SZ | |
Value: | <your wallpaper file> |
This value sets the background on the logon screen. You must provide the fully qualified path and file name. These files are case sensitive, so be sure to type the path and file name correctly. Log off and back on for changes to take effect.
I-126 | Hive: | HKEY_USERS |
Key: | Default\Control Panel\Desktop | |
Value Name: | TileWallpaper | |
Data Type: | REG_SZ | |
Value: | 1 |
This value determines whether the default background graphic is tiled. A value of 1 means you want the graphic tiled. A value of 0 centers the graphic. Log off for changes to take effect.
I-127 These registry values determine the behavior of the default screen saver for the logon screen.
Hive: | HKEY_USERS |
Key: | Default\Control Panel\Desktop |
Value Name: | Scrnsave.exe |
Data Type: | REG_SZ |
Value: | <screen saver file name> |
This value is the fully qualified path to the screen saver executable. The default is logon.scr (boring). Log off and back on for any changes to take effect.

I-130 | Hive: | HKEY_USERS |
Key: | Default\Control Panel\Desktop | |
Value Name: | ScreenSaveIsSecure | |
Data Type: | REG_SZ | |
Value: | 0 |
This value determines whether the screen saver prompts for a password before allowing you access to the system. Since this value specifies the screensaver for the main logon screen, enabling this value is redundant. However, those of you who want double security measures can set this value to 1 (password security enabled). Log off for this value to take effect.
