When you change your personal wallpaper in Windows, it does not - by default - change the system wallpaper that displays at the login prompt. We get asked this by sysadmins all the time saying that they have branded their workstations with company wallpaper, but the login screen stays the same... here's how to fix it.
Open your registry and find the HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Desktop key.
Modify the value of 'Wallpaper' to equal the path and filename of the
bitmap (BMP of JPG) file you want to use as the background (e.g.
'c:\windows\mylogo.bmp').
In the same key, you can also modify these additional values
"Pattern" and "TileWallpaper" to set the background pattern and Tile
mode respectively.
Restart Windows for the changes to take effect.
