The Windows 7 operating system gives you a little opportunity to customize the operating system interface for yourself. But, if you have a desire to make the interface of your operating system more unique, then you still have several options. For example, you can change the welcome picture in Windows 7. In this article we will tell you exactly about this.

If you are wondering how to change the welcome picture in Windows 7, then you have two options: do everything manually or use special programs. Let's start with the first option.

Step number 1. Make edits to windows registry 7.

The first thing to do is Windows 7 and go to HKLM \\ Software \\ Microsoft \\ Windows \\ CurrentVersion \\ Authentication \\ LogonUI \\ Background. This section must have an OEMBackground value of "1". This option allows you to change the welcome picture in Windows 7.

If the OEMBackground parameter has a value of "0", then change it to "1". If there is no such parameter at all, then it must be created. Create a DWORD (32 bit) named "OEMBackground" and set it to "1".

After the OEMBackground value with a value of "1" appears in the registry key HKLM \\ Software \\ Microsoft \\ Windows \\ CurrentVersion \\ Authentication \\ LogonUI \\ Background, you can proceed to the next step.

Step # 2. Prepare a picture for the Windows 7 welcome screen.

In order to change the picture of the welcome screen, we need a picture that will meet some requirements:

  • The picture must have a resolution of 1024 by 768 pixels. Even your monitor has a different resolution, you still need to use that resolution for the welcome screen.
  • The picture must be in jPG format, and its size should not exceed 256 kilobytes.
  • The picture should be named "backgroundDefault.jpg".

Choose a suitable picture, crop to 1024 × 768 and save as JPG. If the size of the resulting image exceeds 256 kilobytes, then repeat all the steps by changing the JPG compression settings. But, as a rule, this is not required. For such a small resolution, 256 KB is more than enough. Also don't forget to rename your picture to “backgroundDefault.jpg”.

Step # 3. Transfer the picture to the backgrounds folder.

Next, in order to change the welcome picture in Windows 7, we need to open the C: \\ Windows \\ System32 \\ oobe \\ info \\ backgrounds folder. More often than not, there is no info folder in the oobe folder. In this case, create an info folder, open it and create a backgrounds folder. Thus, we get the following path to the folder: C: \\ Windows \\ System32 \\ oobe \\ info \\ backgrounds. After that, copy our prepared picture into this folder.

Everything, if you did everything correctly, the greeting picture should change. Click, Start - Change user, in order to look at the new picture.

Changing the greeting picture using programs

You can also change the Windows 7 welcome picture with special programs... One such program is.

It is very easy to use this program. All you need to do is click on the "Choose a folder" button and select a folder with pictures. After that, you can see how your welcome screen will look like with a particular picture. After you select the desired picture, it remains to click on the "Apply" button and the program will install this picture on your welcome screen.

Nice to deal with self-centered, loved one (user-centered), operating room windows system... She not only does everything the user needs, but also accompanies it with various sound effects - short and figurative melodies that reflect the essence of what is happening.

Some people like it, some don't. Therefore, Windows welcome sounds can be customized to suit your own preferences.

Windows Welcome Sounds are used to provide sounds for various events:

  • windows login
  • exiting Windows,
  • completion of printing,
  • shutting down Windows,
  • notification of receipt of mail, etc.

In Windows, these sounds can be changed - let's see how to do it first for Windows 7, and then for Windows XP.

Welcome sounds in Windows 7

You can select a welcome sound in Windows 7 by selecting Hardware and Sound in Control Panel, then Sound (Figure 1 below):

Figure: 1 We are looking for a window where you can configure system sounds Windows 7

Or the second option is how you can find the "Sound" window: in the Control Panel, select "Appearance and Personalization" - "Personalization", below "Sounds".

In the "Sound" window, go to the "Sounds" tab (Fig. 2 below):

Figure: 2 Welcome sounds in Windows 7

If you select “Silent” in the “Sound scheme” window (number 1 in Fig. 2), and then click on the “Apply” button, then the whole setting of sounds is over. The reason for this is that from now on, all windows work on your computer will take place in complete silence. I don't know how anyone, but I like this particular option - there are no Windows welcome sounds.

If you need sounds, then in the "Sound" window select any "Sound scheme" except "Silent", for example, in the screenshot (number 1 in Fig. 2) the "default" sound scheme is selected. In the "Program events" list (number 2 in Fig. 2) select the required event, for example, the item "Log in to Windows".

We select any sound from the proposed ones (number 3 in Fig. 2). If desired, press the "Check" button, after which you can hear the selected soundtrack. After the choice is made, it remains to click on "Apply".

Pay attention to the checkbox opposite “Play Windows startup melody” (number 5 in Fig. 2). If you uncheck the box, then such a melody will not be played when Windows starts.

From a text presentation on how to change the Windows 7 welcome sounds, let's move on to the video format:

Welcome sounds in Windows XP

The Windows welcome sounds are configured the same way. To do this, go to Start - Settings - Control Panel - Sounds and Audio Devices - Sounds tab:

Figure: 3 Sound greeting in Windows XP

  1. We choose a sound scheme, for example, “ Standard Windows"(Number 1 in Fig. 3).
  2. We find the required "Program event", for example, " Start Windows"(Number 2 in Fig. 3).
  3. We select the appropriate sound (number 3 in Fig. 3) for the program event selected at the 2nd step.
  4. Press the "Apply" button (number 4 in Fig. 3).

If the Windows XP welcome sounds are not needed, that is, you need silence, then it is enough to select the “No sounds” option in the “Sound scheme” drop-down window (number 1 in Fig. 3).

What do you like best - when the Windows welcome sounds are turned on or when they are turned off?
