How To: Set logon background in Windows 7:

- Save the image as backgroundDefault.jpg.

- Place the image in c:\Windows\System32\oobe\info\backgrounds\

Note that you’ll need to create the info and backgrounds folders.

- Open gpedit.msc, the Group Policy editor and Navigate to:

Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> System -> Logon

- Set the Always use custom logon background policy to Enabled.

Windows will now load the custom background each time the logon screen is invoked.
