Problem with Login Screen Theme

Whaton|y SG

1. In Explorer, browse to C:\Windows\System32 and find the file named "logonui.exe".
2. Rename "logonui.exe" to "logonui.exe.bak". This way if anything messes up...you have a backup.
3. Place your new login in C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32 and rename it to logonui.exe.
4. That's it! Now when you log off your new login screen will be there.

I followed the instructions.. But when I went to my login screen it wasn't the one i want. Its the original one. How come?

hmm i have a custom logon screen...maybe you'd want to try my method?...for me i just changed the registry path of "UIHost" to the path of the logonui.exe file i had in C:\my documents and it worked.

try at your own risk though =p

Whaton|y SG

start->run->regedit->type f3 search for "UIHost" then change the value inside to the path of your new logonui.exe file e.g. C:\my documents\logonui.exe and then hit f5 then restart?
