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
.
- Log On Screen Change guide.
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
