Hi Daley,
I have a solution for you

By default in Windows XP, the background color of the welcome screen is blue. But it can be changed very easily with a value in the registry. However, only three colors are possible.

• Click on "start", "Run" then type "regedit" and do "OK"
  
  
• Go to the key: "HKEY_USERS. DEFAULT / Software / Microsoft / Windows / CurrentVersion / ThemeManager"
  
  
• In the right part change the DWORD value named "ColorName" and put one of the following:
  
  
  • "NormalColor": Blue
    
    
  • "Metallic": Gray
    
    
  • "Homestead": Olive

say to your friend lolz
