====== Windows 7 ======
//AKA: Windows 6.1//
===== Tweaking =====
I've done a few things to make my Windows 7 install seems a bit more contemporary.
==== Lock Screen ====
To change the BG image, first make a ''.REG'' file with this text.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Authentication\LogonUI\Background]
"OEMBackground"=dword:00000001
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\System]
"UseOEMBackground"=dword:00000001
Run it, then add the image you want to use to ''C:\Windows\System32\oobe\info\backgrounds''. It must be in the format ''Background[width]x[height].jpg''.

==== Text Shadow ====
Disable text shdow on the log-in screen
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Authentication\LogonUI]
"ButtonSet"=dword:00000002
==== Use UTC Time ====
Had to do this to stop it messing with the clock in my Arch install when I was dual booting.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\TimeZoneInformation]
"RealTimeIsUniversal"=dword:00000001
