Instructions:
• Type regedit in RUN or Startmenu search box and press Enter. It'll open Registry Editor.
• Now go to the following key:
○ HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Authentication\Logo­nUI\Background
• Now in right-side pane, change the value of OEMBackground to 1.
• Now go to the following folder:
○ %windir%\System32\oobe
• Create a new folder and name it "info" inside the oobe folder.
• Then again, create a new folder and name it "backgrounds" inside the info folder.
• Now copy any desired wallpaper to this new "backgrounds" folder but the following conditions must be followed:
○ The image name must be backgroundDefault.jpg.
○ The image size must be less than 256 KB.
○ The image format must be JPG.

  • Attention please, there is something wrong at 1:50, "Named "backgroundDefault.jpg"", but actually, if u put the .jpg on the back of the name, will cause nothing happens or any changes made.

    Anyway, thank u for this video, let me learn more.

  • @KwokSonny What I meant was the picture should be in Jpeg (.JPG) format.
