Original link: https://blog.kelu.org/software/2022/07/16/win-7-setting-login-background.html

God knows, I still have to use win7. This article records how to change the login wallpaper/lock screen wallpaper.

1. Modify the registry

   Win+R shortcut key, run regedit

   Open the Registry Editor and navigate to

   HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Authentication\LogonUI\Background

   In the right window you will see a double-byte value named: OEMBackground.

   • If not, you can right-click in the blank space of the right window, select “New” – “DWORD (32-bit) Value”, and name it: OEMBackground.
   • Double-click this key value, the default should be 0, change it to 1, click the OK button to close the Registry Editor.

2. Enter C:\Windows\System32\oobe , there is a picture of background.bmp below, which is the default background picture of the system

3. Create/enter the info/backgrounds folder, move the custom background image in, name it backgroundDefault.jpg

So the storage path of the custom wallpaper image is: C:\Windows\System32\oobe\info\backgrounds\backgroundDefault.jpg

Through the shortcut key Win+L , you can see the lock screen effect.
