How do I change the boot screen for windows 7?

Many users tend to personalize their operating systems. Everyone wants to be unique and non-standard. This leads to the fact that some may want to change the welcome screen boot for Windows 7. How to do this? We offer you three different ways.

Tweakslogon

This program can be used to replace system images. For example, to change the boot screen for Windows 7. Download it from the Internet and install it on your computer.

In order for the program to use the image and set it as wallpaper, you must first change the size of the picture. The file size must not exceed 256 KB. In extreme cases, you can always change it with the help of a banal "Paint". Just open the picture and click in the top panel "Resize". Reduce the picture in percentages until it reaches the desired size.

After you select the image, start the program and click "Change Logon Screen". After that, select the prepared image. To see the result, you can click the "Test" button in the program itself.

Windows 7 Logon Background Change

Another convenient program for changing the boot screen of Windows 7, but compared to the previous one it has much more functionality. For example, a huge plus is that it "fits" the image to fit a suitable size, and also demonstrates the result of the work.

You can download a portable version that does not require installation. After that, collect all the candidate pictures in one folder. After launching the program, click "Select folder" and specify the path. Now the program will give you a choice among all the pictures that are located along the specified path.

Registry

The last way to change the boot screen for Windows 7 is to get yourself into the registry of your operating system. This method is highly recommended to be used only by those who understand what is at stake, and communicates with the computer on "you".

Push the "Start" button. In the search bar, type "regedit" without quotes. After that, you will see a window for managing the registry.

The first thing we are interested in is the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE section. Right-click on it and select "Find". Remove all the check boxes in the search settings, except for "parameter names", and enter "OEMbackground".

After the search procedure has passed, the required registry branch will be opened. Choose the option that we were looking for, click on it with a double click of the mouse. Its value must be set to "1". If it is not so, then we change it.

Now open "My Computer" and go to the "C: \ Windows \ System32 \ Oobe" directory. Create a folder with the name "info", and in it a subfolder "backgrounds". However, in some assemblies, it is so. Now take the picture we need and put it in this folder under the name "backgroundDefault.jpg", if necessary, replacing the old image (if you think you want to go back to the old desktop theme, better save it). All, now when you restart the boot screen for Windows 7 should change.
