Change locked computers wallpaper

[Nura]

Hi:

Iam using Vista Ultimate edition. I changed my desktop wallpaper and it got
changed easily. But, when i lock my box, the change is not getting reflected
that is my new wallpaper that i have changed is not getting dispalyed on
locked computer background, instead old vista wallpaper is displayed.

I tried to change all wallpaper related content in regedit too, but nothing
helped me out. Is anyone there to help me out with this strange problem.

Thanks,

Hello,

Using the registry editor, create a string value named WallPaper in
HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Desktop whose value is the path and
filename of the wallpaper you want to use.

Thanks for your reply.

Unfortunately, it didn't work in my box. I created a new string value in
the respective place and restarted my stystem. Still i see same old vista
desktop wallpaper.

Any other suggestions.

Thanks,
Nura.

Your locked screen uses the same picture as your logon screen which is
located inside the c:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\IMAGERES.DLL file. You have two
options, change the imageres.dll file manually replacing the images with a
dll resource editor or use the VistaLogon tool from stardock which
accomplishes the same thing.

http://www.stardock.com, but unable to find the tool.

Thanks,
