Change image of Welcome screen - Windows XP

Hi guys
I'm using windows XP so cab anybody tell me how to change its boring welcome screen. I searched on it but didn't get any sufficient answer. I don't wanna use any customization software because I know sometimes they harm the OS. Any suggestions will be helpful. Thank you

Re: Change image of Welcome screen - Windows XP

You can change the image that appears before your profile on the Welcome screen.
T do this save your photo or the image which you want to use as welcome screen. The image size is not important since it will be automatically resized to fit in the window.
Follow the these steps:

1) Click the Start button, click Settings and then Control Panel.

2) Double click on the User Accounts module.

3) Click your account and click the Modify my image.

4) Select the new image in the list and click the Change button portrait.

5) To use your own pictures, click Find other images.

To put your favorite image or picture in the background of the logon screen :

1) Click the Start button and select "Run"

2) In the "open" field, type regedit and click ok

3) In the registry editor, navigate to HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\CONTROL
PANEL\DESKTOP
and double-click the string "wallpaper"

4)Enter the full path and filename of the .bmp image that you want to use as background (the image must be in .bmp format)

5)Click "ok" and close the registry editor

6) The changes take effect as soon as you log off and on again.

If you change the string HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\CONTROL PANEL\DESKTOP\TILEWALLPAPER to 1 instead of 0, you will get a tiled effect with the bitmap .

Note: Backup the registry first before going to change it.
