Yes, although Microsoft for some inscrutible reason made it much more
difficult when Vista was developed.

The procedure is complex (just changing a single Registry setting was far
too convenient for Microsoft's designers to tolerate...) but there are
several places on the Internet where it's documented. Try for example the
ACM site at the University of Iowa:

http://acm.uiowa.edu/plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?3008

which takes you through the procedure step-by-step.

Right click your desktop and click Personalize in the menu. This dialog give
you links to all settings. When done click OK and it changes.

Exactly which link in "Personalize" do you click to change the login
background?

Marco

to change the login background, you have to download "Login Studio Vista"
search Google for it

Hi Species8350,

I like the "Startdock LogonStudio Vista" program as well. Here is a
write up on it that shows how to use it.

Which log-in? You seem to want fine detail changes that may not be available
in any windows but try the Windows Color and Appearance link and then the
Open Classic Appearance......... at the bottom.

Only a change in the overall color scheme will change the bits you want.

How many login (some prefer to say logon) background screens do you know
of when you log into Vista?

What has this got to do with the login screens?

>Only a change in the overall color scheme will change the bits you want.

How will that change the login screens?

Pull you neck in and stop trying to be so cleaver, I said I was mistaken and
asked why you did not give an answer to the original question instead of
