I can't find the original XP Logon Wallpaper
Sunday, April 30, 2017 by tkangas | Discussion: OS Customization
I would like to get rid of the default Windows 7 logon wallpaper and replace it with the XP logon image. I've looked on the Web but the queer thing is you can't find this wallpaper image.
So can you offer some insight into this?
I may try this Logon Screen Changer which does it automatically and easily, but it seems to me that I still would need to procure the actual graphic, which is the actual XP Logon Wallpaper (which I have not been able to find).

This site is rather broken. The search function for the WindowBlinds part is pretty much non-functional. You can't find what you're looking for without wading through 610 pages, going one at a time. You should able to do a quick search for what you're looking for. It comes up saying no results.
The filters on the right don't work very good either.
Then you gotta download and install all these other packages to get your desktop looking the way you want. I was not under that impression that I had to add on or buy all this other stuff.
But Thanks for your tip. I wasn't aware of this thing called Logon Studio. I read that Microsoft removed the ability to use the XP Welcome screen years ago. This is probably why I have not been able to find it.

The easiest, and least expensive, way to take advantage of GUI modification is to subscribe to Object Desktop, the suite of apps that will enable customization of the OS in many ways, including those you appear to be interested in. Each application has uses & limitations (not all work on every OS) & there is a learning curve to understanding what each app can do, but it sounds like you have sufficient interest & basic knowledge to master them.
In case you haven't been there already: Object Desktop

And since you've already bought Windowblinds I believe (but can't guarantee) that you can upgrade to Object Desktop at a significant discount.
At the bottom of the page Daiwa linked is a list of "what's compatible with what".
