I am trying to minimalise my logonscreen, so far I have removed Windows Branding, every option but Start Task Manager, Ease of Access Button and the Shut Down button along with applying a custom wallpaper.Basically all I see is a Cancel button, wallpaper and Start Task Manager.However I would like to remove the arrow infront of Start Task Manager, theme the Cancel button so it does not look really glossy, and stop it automatically selecting the Top Item (Start Task Manager) automatically everytime I launch CTRL+ALT+DELETE.I would also like to remove the Switch User button from the Logon Screen and disable the loading wheel while shutting down and bootin

yesterday when i was making log out from my computer, there is no log out screen!! just black screen and mouse cursor, and when i did restart again , no logon screen appears or no any thing in screen , just black screen and mouse cursor too.I was tried every thing and no difference :safe modestartup repairrestore to some point (i dont have a point)upgrade windows or reinstall iti think the things maybe was made this poblem are :i was edited userinit.exe value from registry by deleting the comma from the end of its value. i used Windows 7 manager to make some clean and fixes some things on computer.
My Windows 7 started going to black screen after logon, I presume it started after my power went down suddenly.Anyway, I re-installed Windows 7 and it persisted. Then I installed Windows 8 preview to try something different and the same thing kept on happening.Also, half the time my computer won't even boot at all, I push the power button, hear the computer starting but the screen doesn't even turn on and it behaves like there is no input.
So I was looking around the internet trying to customize my logon screen for win7. I was able to change the background but I've no clue how to get rid of the icon. Is there anyway to make it so there's just a place to type a password and no icon above it? Been poking around for awhile and I can't seem to find any info on it.
If I don't move my mouse, or type anything for 1 minute, Windows 7 automatically brigs me to the log-in screen / change user screen (locks the pc).
I have set all the power settings for sleep, hibernate, dim, turn of HDD to none, or never. I also do not have a log-in password for my username (there is only one user).
I would like to change my logon screen (as the blueish one with "i think its supposed to be a Dove") looks total crap to me! but as i don't logon (only i use this Comp) is it possible to change it ?
My wife and I each have user accounts and we "Switch User" back and forth all the time, and sometimes leave it at the logon screen with our two icons to click on.
In XP, the screensaver would run on the logon screen, but I'm noticing that nothing happens from the logon in 7. We have use the photo screensaver which makes it a digital picture frame of sorts, but if you leave it at the logon, you'll come back an hour later to see our two icons waiting for you.
Has the screensaver on logon been removed or is there a configuration I'm missing?
RONIZ by ~007TINAR on deviantART Their is a totally cool background. But is it customizable? How can i change the text to make it say Windows Windows 7, instead of that windows xp stuff. And how can i remove that "water-mark"-like thing in the top left corner.
Came across this site today, and would like to say thank you, thank you, thank you. I have already downloaded the thundercats clocks... big smile on my face lol
Anyway, back to my point. I have changed the logon screen background to an awesome image, I was just wondering, is there anyway of getting rid of the 'Windows 7' logo/word across the center bottom?
Any advice if you can move the password bar in the main logon screen for Win 7. Another is if you can remove the picture on the logon screen. win 7 logon backround changer works for backround just wondering if there is a program for doing other tweaks.
Has anyone found a way to change the "Welcome" screen without downloading a "fix" from the inet?
I've tried creating a jpeg (the correct size) in windowssystem32oobeinfoackgrounds (saved as defaultBackground) and making a chage in the registry to:
HKLM>Software>Microsoft>Windows>Current Version>Authentication>LogonUI>Background... Key OEMBackground value 1 ... but to no avail.
What is interesting is that the original MS background file ((bitmap) in system 32oobe) that is the welcome screen has security permissions on it .... with Adminstrators only having Read/Read and Execute ONLY... O.O
I have a dual monitor setup, with a 1280x1024 VGA monitor coupled with a DVI 1920x1080 monitor. I use the 1920x1080 one as primary, because I like to play a few videogames and they're much better on the widescreen (and higher res).
However, I'd like to be able to display the windows 7 logon screen on the secondary (vga) monitor, it's just a minor bug but I'd like it that way because whenever I wake up my computer, the vga monitor wakes up almost instantly but the widescreen seems to take a few seconds to wake up, and I'd like to be able to input my password and start using my PC right away - I use an nvidia card if that means anything (maybe the ati drivers support it but not nvidia I don't know).
Recently I've been experiencing a white screen after I log in. It appears for about 2 minutes and then everything loads as normal, but everything does seem a little slow.
I got the white screen a few times, tried to boot in safe mode but it got stuck at 'classpnp.sys'. My laptop is working as normal right now, I left the white screen and it finally showed my desktop, but should I be worried about these white screens?
I'm using an asus a52f with 3gb ram. Sorry if this isn't enough info, I'll try to give any more details if you need them.
Found this logon screen changer, used to be complicated but Win7 has made changes, thereby making this program an easy add on. Now, I just can't decide which picture I prefer..

I have had my new computer with windows 7 from Dell for almost 2 years. I have never had any problems with it until yesterday. All of a sudden I can't login with my password. I am the only one who uses my computer. I called Dell and gave them my express code service #, etc. and I have already paid them enough! I went searching on how to resolve this and one thing I found I need to get into safe mode with command prompt. Well, I did and it loads files and then goes right to logon screen without allowing me to enter any command prompts.
OK A few days ago my computer kept freezing and I rebooted it 7 times to finally get it working. I removed about 40Gb of crap (mainly files) that were still present on my machine. Last night it happened again and I did the same. Only this time when I log in to my account I can't do anything. There's no desktop. Just a curser. Nothing else.
The first time I just used CTRL+ALT+DEL and closed dwm.exe which I guess restarted itself because I could use the desktop freely again. The same incident happened again this morning however I cannot access the security screen via CTRL+ALT+DEL.
I am able to run everything in safe mode so it's not a core issue (I hope). I was able to activate the Hidden Admin however the same problem persists across both accounts.
I'm trying to change the background for the log-on screen for Windows 7 Home Premium. I tried the method explained here [URL](and on other websites), but when I navigated to the backgrounds folder, I wasn't able to add a new picture or delete the current one.I downloaded the Tweaks.com Logon Changer [URL], but it only gives me the choice between pictures in C: / Windows / Web / Wallpaper.And I can't add any pictures there either (nothing happens after I give administrator permission).
I am working on a Dell Inspiron laptop (model 1750) that boots fine to safe mode however, when i boot to regular mode the screen starts to flicker at the logon screen. No visible buttons are available to select the user. I have tried startup repair, uninstalled video drivers and scanned for and removed malware. The machine is running Win 7 SP 1(64 bit).
Is it possible to have an email notification on the logon screen?My wife & I share a PC so we have 2 logon icons on the opening screen - for he & me.Under XP you'd get a notification that email was waiting. I'm not bothered, but my wife would like that so she can just glance at the logon screen without logging on to see if there is email for her.
I can't logon into my computer because when windows boots then it will freeze on please wait without any hard drive noise. To fix it "temporally" i will need to boot on safe mode and them use system restore. Then when I shut down my computer and then tomorrow when I turn it on again it wiil freeze on please wait again.
After booting my machine (Sony VAIO Z2) the logon screen appears, but just the background. Everything else is missing. Only option I do have is forcing the notebook to shutdown by pressing power-button for a few sec. This does not happen all the time. Sometimes I'm able to boot/logon normally a few times in a row, sometimes I have to reboot very often just to finally get to the (non-blank) logon screen.
I've seen that there are already a few (old) threads on this topic in this forum, but none of them seemed to solve the problem I have. I don't want to be reinstalling all over again.
I've already tried to deactivate some services like Novell Client and fingerprint reader, which both interfere in the logon process. But nothing changed.
Booting from a Windows 7 DVD and using startup repair function hasn't changed anything either.
how to change the background of the logon screen however, I'd like to change the little blue ring animation. I'm familiar with resource hacker and restorator but haven't been able to find where this animation is stored to make the desired change.
Till Windows Vista & Xp there was no support for changing Login Screen background and you have to use third party apps like logon studio for changing login screen background. However in Windows 7 Microsoft has done good job by allowing users to change Windows 7 Logon Screen without need of third party apps.
We have already revived Logon changer & LogonUI Changer for Windows 7. Here is another cool utility Windows 7 Logon Screen Rotator which lets you to rotate Windows 7 Logon background screen randomly.

To use the application run the exe and choose your images, then click �Enable Settings and Exit� & specify set of images you want to rotate through on Windows 7 Logon Screen
I've used the a couple programs to change the background of my logon screen, I've tried using logon workshop but it doesn't make sense to me. All I want is a logon screen with a certain background, a text box for my password and thats it.
I used a very simple program in August when the RTM first came out to change the logon screen without having to deal with the registry. Now I can't find it; it was something that didn't require installation, because it doesn't appear in the start menu. Just needed to point to the jpg I wanted and it changed it for me. Can someone point me in the right direction?
Eh, I just found it online again: Windows 7 Logon Background Changer - Customize your Windows 7 welcome screen wallpaper.
