Are you tired of the same old boring lock screen wallpapers on your Windows 7 computer? Want to add a personal touch to your logon screen? Look no further! With our guide, you'll learn how to set a custom logon screen background on Windows 7, 8, or 10 in just a few simple steps.

First, you'll need to find the perfect wallpaper for your lock screen. There are plenty of websites dedicated to providing high-quality wallpapers for Windows 7, so take your time and choose one that speaks to you.

Once you have your desired wallpaper, save it to your computer and make sure it's in a supported format (JPG, PNG, or BMP). Next, open the Start menu and type "regedit" into the search bar. This will open the Registry Editor.

In the Registry Editor, navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SOFTWARE > Microsoft > Windows > CurrentVersion > Authentication > LogonUI > Background. Right-click on the "OEMBackground" key and select "Modify". If the key doesn't exist, you can create it by right-clicking on "Background" and selecting "New > DWORD (32-bit) Value".

Change the value of "OEMBackground" to 1 and click "OK". This will enable custom backgrounds on your logon screen. Next, go to the folder where you saved your wallpaper and rename it to backgroundDefault.jpg. Copy this file and paste it into the "backgrounds" folder located in C:\Windows\System32\oobe\info\backgrounds.

That's it! The next time you log in, you'll see your new custom wallpaper on your lock screen. If you ever want to change it, simply replace the backgroundDefault.jpg file with a new wallpaper in the same folder.

Now you can personalize your Windows 7 logon screen with beautiful and unique wallpapers. Impress your friends and make your computer stand out from the rest. And don't worry, this method works for Windows 8 and 10 too!
