Re: How do you change the logon background in Windows XP?

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Hello,

I think it is in default user profile in documents and setting.
The keys you modified seem to apply in this hidden "account".

Maybe you can try to copy profile of an account which as the parameters you
want, and then copy it to default user.
Display properties of the "Workstation" (right click on the icon on
desktop).
Use the tab "advanced" and in the "users profiles" section, click on
"parameters".
Then select the account, click on the copy button, and put it to default
user.

Note I use a french system, and the traduction of the things I describe
upper, could be different !!!!

Hope it could help you.
