Windows 7 makes it easy changing the Windows log-on screen. 

1. Go to start, and click on Run, type Regedit & press enter there. 

2. Navigate to : HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVe rsion\Authentication\ LogonUI\Background 

3. Double-click the OEMBackground DWORD key 

4. Set value of the key to 1. 

5. Select a background image for Logon Screen with size less than 256KB in size (Use of Image Resize software like VSO Resizer can help) 

6. Copy that image into the C:\Windows\system32\oobe\info\backgrounds folder 

7. Rename the image to backgroundDefault.jpg 

8. Reboot, and now your logon Image would have changed.
