Instructions
Step 1
There are several utilities that you can use to change the welcome screen. The TuneUp Utilites program is very simple and easy to use. It allows you to change many Windows settings, including the appearance of the startup screen and the welcome (login) screen. The program can be downloaded from the Internet.
Step 2
Install TuneUp Utilites. After installation, open: "Start" - "All Programs" - "TuneUp Utilites" - "All Features" - "Style Tune". In the window that opens, select "System start" - "Login window". Click the "Add" button, then select "Download from the Internet." Your default browser will automatically open a page with different welcome screen options.
Step 3
Select the image you like, it will be automatically inserted into the program. Click the Apply button. A window will appear in which you will be asked to choose whether you want to leave the existing inscriptions in Russian or insert those that come with the new image. You can try to leave Russian inscriptions, but when loading, they may not be positioned correctly on the page - for example, partially go beyond its edges. Click the "Apply" button, the welcome screen will be changed. If you don't like the installed login screen, you can always return to the default settings by clicking the "Default" button.
Step 4
Use LogonStudio to change the welcome screen. It is very simple to work with it: install and run the program, in the window that opens there will be several options for the window design. Choose from the available images or customize your own. A large number of beautiful welcome screens can be found on the Internet. The disadvantage of LogonStudio is that the program does not work on some versions of Windows, more often pirated ones.
Step 5
There is another option for changing the welcome window - using the Resource Hacker program. Open the Logonui.exe file in it, it is located in the Windows / System32 folder. In the open file, find the Bitmaps folder, section 100 in it. This is where the welcome screen image is stored. Replace it with your own in *.bmp format and save the changes. Be sure to back up Logonui.exe before working with it.
