Thanks! This really helped.

Great guide -- I have just one complaint. You have an image that seems to imply that the background image's name should be defaultBackground.jpg, but it doesn't work unless it's backgroundDefault.jpg. This tripped me up for about a minute before I reread the article.

I'm working on the bitmap gark with this. Just changed my PC's logon spash welcome screen via a quick take ownership of the files with this, then did a solid color with Windows paint, since that's my pref. It was fast, easy, didn't even have to change the registry value with the OEM installed. Now logon stays one color cept' for the boot screen deal, which am attacking next. Probably just a bitmap changeover internal same as I did the OEM & Windows/Microsoft files. Don't do this though unless you are familiar with internals to your PC very well, plus I over-wrote the files, and once it's done it's done. For me was a cut/dry issue but have worked with computers very long time, for others recommend backup, and known tweeks/tricks posted to net. Just another quirk way I knew, sort of a side door way to differ from known methods.

i need help, i used tweaks but now i can't use wifi sync with my iPhone because of the third party software, plus in the picture it displays defaultBackground.jpg, but in the description it says backgroundDefault.jpg, neither worked..
