Log On With A Different Screen
If you are a fan of user customization this is for you. Have you ever wanted to change the background of the screen that you log into? You know the one where you type your password in (if you have password lock enabled). Well, today's tip I will show share with a software that makes it quick and painless. Yes, there are ways to do this without installing software but this is for the everyday user whom does not want to go through a plethora of steps to change a picture.
The software I am describing is LogOn Studio by Stardock. LogOn enables the user to select a picture from their harddrive to be used as the background for the login screen.
The reason why you should use a program instead of going through a bunch of system files is :
- Simplicity/Convenience
- You don't risk harming your computer by accidentally deleting something you should not
- If you go the system files route your picture has to be a specific size and type. This software does it automatically.
Note: This assuming you are not comfortable messing around with your computer files that could effect your daily computer operations.
Once you have selected your picture select open and then save on the following screen and your selected picture should appear as a choice. For example I selected onetechtip logo.
Once you have selected your picture CLICK APPLY and you are done. :)
