The article shows how you can replace Welcome to windows screensaver to any other phrase?
Hello everyone, we continue to tweak Windows as we please, and now we will try to replace Welcome with our phrase and show off our abilities to less nosy users. To do this, we first need to determine the language settings folder for your Windows locale. For Russian speaking users, just repeat the steps. By the way, with this tool you can change the system beyond recognition. Read on, now you will understand everything.
Tricks roll on versions Windows Vista and 7 SP1 for sure. I have not tried it on others. If you haven't received SP1 in time, try disabling one of the Windows components in the Add or Remove Programs console: we are talking about the Platform Windows gadgets(you must uncheck the box).
Yes. And one more thing: after console command the changes we made will be lost.
We read carefully, practice on a copy of the file, keeping the original file in an accessible place. In case of system failure, replace it back.
What are we going to use?
- utility (install immediately)
- administrator rights and full access to all files and folders of the system (I will show you how in the second part of the article); if it doesn't work, activate the hidden account (the real Administrator) and work from there
We go along the path and look for this file:
C: \ Windows \ System32 \ ru-RU \ winlogon.exe.mui
Copy it closer (I got it on the Desktop) and open it with ResourceHacker... You will be greeted with a utility window in which through File - Open ... open the copied:
You will see a lot of dialog messages in Russian (in our case) for interactive communication between the system and the user. Including what we require:
Entries by numbers 1002 and 1005 replace with your favorite greetings. For example, so that instead of Welcome something like this appears:
Greetings, my young friend!
let's edit the content like this:
To save, press F5 and Ctrl + S. We just have to substitute the corrected file instead of the desired one - you need to make sure that your file is named after the replaced one (Resource Hacker will do this by default, at the same time substituting the word original- do not confuse). Do not delete the old file! If you want, just rename it quickly, but it might come in handy later. when you roll back what you have done.
At the stage of removing the old -a problems may arise. They are related to access rights. When you try to delete a file, you will see a window like this:
For full control over the file, right-click Properties- tab Safety. Find the button Additionally:
we do not have full access to the file ... fix it!
A new window opened a list of those who can. We, as administrators, however, do not have full access to the file. It was booked for. Let's go to the tab Owner and select our account from the small list:
We press Apply and OK... Along the way, we agree to the changes. and now you can add permissions to the file.
Back to Properties our file and click Change:
Again we look for ourselves in the list and resolve Full access... Files can now be swapped. As you can see, there is more trouble with the rights than with the focus itself.
You can try it directly without rebooting. Click:
Start - Shutdown - Change user
Nice to deal with self-centered, loved one (user-centered), operating room Windows system... She not only does everything that the user needs, but also accompanies it with various sound effects- short and imaginative melodies that reflect the essence of what is happening.
Some people like it, some don't. Therefore, you can customize the Windows Welcome sounds to suit your own preferences.
Windows Welcome Sounds are used to provide sounds for various events:
- Windows login
- exiting Windows,
- completion of printing,
- shutting down Windows,
- notification of receipt of mail, etc.
In Windows, these sounds can be changed - let's see how to do it first for Windows 7, and then for Windows XP.
Welcome sounds in Windows 7
You can select a welcome sound in Windows 7 by selecting Hardware and Sound in Control Panel, then Sound (Figure 1 below):
Rice. 1 We are looking for a window where you can configure system sounds Windows 7
Or the second option is how you can find the "Sound" window: in the Control Panel, select "Appearance and personalization" - "Personalization", below "Sounds".
In the "Sound" window, go to the "Sounds" tab (Fig. 2 below):
Rice. 2 Welcome sounds in Windows 7
If the window “ Sound scheme"(Number 1 in Fig. 2) select" Silent ", and then click on the" Apply "button, then the whole setting of sounds is over. The reason for this is that from now on, all Windows work on your computer will take place in complete silence. I don’t know how anyone, but I like this particular option - there are no Windows welcome sounds.
If you need sounds, then in the "Sound" window select any "Sound scheme" except "Silent", for example, in the screenshot (number 1 in Fig. 2) the "default" sound scheme is selected. In the list "Program events" (number 2 in Fig. 2) select the required event, for example, the item "Log in to Windows".
We select any sound from the proposed ones (number 3 in Fig. 2). If desired, press the "Check" button, after which you can hear the selected soundtrack. After the choice is made, it remains to click on "Apply".
Pay attention to the checkbox opposite “Play Windows startup melody” (number 5 in Fig. 2). If you uncheck the box, then such a melody will not be played when Windows starts.
From a text presentation on how to change the Windows 7 welcome sounds, let's move on to the video format:
Welcome sounds in Windows XP
Windows welcome sounds are configured in the same way. To do this, go to Start - Settings - Control Panel - Sounds and Audio Devices - Sounds tab:
Rice. 3 Sound greeting in Windows XP
- We choose a sound scheme, for example, “ Standard Windows"(Number 1 in Fig. 3).
- We find the required "Program event", for example, " Windows startup"(Number 2 in Fig. 3).
- We select the appropriate sound (number 3 in Fig. 3) for the program event selected in the 2nd step.
- Press the "Apply" button (number 4 in Fig. 3).
If the Windows XP welcome sounds are not needed, that is, you need silence, then it is enough to select the “No sounds” option in the “Sound scheme” drop-down window (number 1 in Fig. 3).
What do you like best - when the Windows welcome sounds are turned on or when they are turned off?

One way to customize your operating system is to change the welcome screen. Through simple actions, users can put any picture they like on the splash screen and return everything back at any time.
Those who like to tweak the operating system will not miss the opportunity to replace the standard welcome background with a more interesting image. This can be done in any modern and relatively modern Windows versions, including the "seven". This can be done using special utilities and manually. The first option is often faster and more convenient, while the second is suitable for more confident users who do not want to use third-party software.
Method 1: Windows 7 Logon Background Changer
As the name implies, this program is designed specifically for G7 users who want to change the welcome background. This software has a very simple, nice and modern interface and has a small gallery of its own backgrounds.
- Go to the official website of the program and click on the button "Download".
- On the new page click on the link "Please click here to start the download".
- Downloaded ZIP file all that remains is to extract and run the EXE file. The program does not require installation and works as a portable version.

No additional opportunities There is no program for customization, so if you want to change anything else in the system, use multifunctional tweakers for Windows 7, which include the ability to change the background of the download.
Method 2: Windows Tools
You cannot change the background of the greeting using the tool "Personalization" and any other editors, however, you can replace the image by editing the registry and replacing the picture in system folder... The disadvantage of this method is that it is impossible to see the result until the computer is restarted.
There are a couple of restrictions for this method: the file must be in JPG format and have a weight of up to 256 KB. In addition, try to choose a picture in accordance with the size and resolution of your screen so that it looks good and appropriate.
- Open the registry editor with a keyboard shortcut Win + R and the regedit command.
- Follow the path given below:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Windows \ Current Version \ Authentication \ LogonUI \ Background
- Double click on the parameter "OEMBackground", put the value 1
and press "OK".
If it's already there, just go to the next item.
If not, create this parameter manually. While on the above path, right-click on an empty space on the right side of the screen and select "Create" > "DWORD Parameter (32 bit)".
Give him a name OEMBackground, set the value 1 and save the result to "OK".
- Open explorer and go to folder backgrounds located here:
C: \ Windows \ System32 \ oobe \ info \
In some cases backgrounds may be missing, like the folder info... In this case, you will need to create and rename 2 folders manually in the usual way.
Inside first oobe create a folder and name it info inside which create a folder backgrounds.

Restart your PC to see the changed background.
Now you know two simple methods of changing the welcome screen in Windows 7. Use the first if you are not confident in your abilities and do not want to edit the registry and system folder. The second is convenient for those who do not want to use or do not trust third-party software, having sufficient skills to set the background manually.
Windows XP is a masterpiece Microsoft(in my opinion, I'm a big fan of this OS). But for so many years, it has already been working on many computers that it has become boring with its interface. In one of the articles I have already told. Now, let's walk through the process of creating and modifying the Windows XP Welcome screen.
When I wrote about the boot screen on XP or about, I was limited mainly to by standard means OS without resorting to any help third-party programs... But to change the Windows XP Welcome screen, you need to install one little Resource Hacker. It takes up little space, and you can download it for free and via a direct link.
Changing the Windows XP Welcome Text
To change the Windows XP welcome screen, you need to edit the logonui.exe system file. We will edit it using the downloaded and installed program.
Before making changes to the logonui.exe file, I recommend making a backup, since the changes may not be reversible and entail unpleasant consequences. To make a copy of it, just copy the file to some other folder.
So, launch Resource Hacker and open the logonui.exe file through the File and Open menus. This file for modifying the Windows XP Welcome screen is located in C / WINDOWS / System32. When the file is displayed in the program, open in the left menu "String Table", then "1", and then "1049".
In the right window of this program, you will see the standard OS labels that appear in the welcome window. All of them can be edited. But since we need to change the Windows XP welcome picture, then we go to line 7 (sometimes there may be a different line number), and change that inscription to the desired one. You can change other phrases if you wish.
For example, I had "Welcome", I changed it to "Hello =)". When editing, do not remove the quotes, they should open and close the greeting caption.
After changing the text, click "Complete Script" and save the changes through the menu "File" and "Save".
Now, if you did everything correctly, after rebooting you will see your inscription in the Windows XP welcome window.
Changing the Windows XP welcome picture
Changing the Windows XP Welcome screen is similar to changing the text of the caption. To do this, also through Resource Hacker, open the same system file logonui.exe.
Now we need to select the "Bitmap" folder in the left menu, then "100", and then "1049". On "1049" you need to click right click mouse and select "Replace Resource". A window will open in which you need to click on "Open file with new bitmap". After that, you need to select a picture that will replace the Windows XP welcome screen. When the picture is selected, it will be displayed in the thumbnail window. Click on "Replase", leaving the rest of the default settings.
After that, we save the changes through "File" and "Save". Reboot and admire.
To change the Windows XP welcome window, you must select a picture with the * .bmp extension. Make any picture in, which is in each OS or through other image editors. It is better to make the picture resolution the same as that of your monitor. To edit pixel resolutions and crop images you can, I told you how you can do it. There are no other restrictions.
That's all. Now we know how easy it is to change the text and picture of the greeting on Windows XP.
Dear Friends, tomorrow is May 9th, which means that the whole country will celebrate Victory Day, I congratulate you all on the Great Victory Day and wish you good health and prosperity in everything! And today I suggest that you familiarize yourself with the next blog article "Technical issues of Windows".
In this tutorial, we will look at how you can change the picture of the welcome screen. When you turn on your computer, it boots operating system then appears ehwelcome tapWindows7 with the words "Welcome" on a blue background, this background from the moment Windows installations 7 is a standard pattern. In general, there are two ways to change the picture (background) of the greeting:
1. Change the picture using the registry.
2. Change the picture using an additional program.
I suggest you familiarize yourself with two methods of replacing the greeting image. So let's start with the first method.
First of all, we will need to decide on the picture that we want to set as the welcome screen. To prevent your picture from being stretched, it is necessary that the picture matches the resolution of your monitor. To use a picture as a background for the greeting, use the .jpg extension.
So, in order to change the welcome picture using the registry, you need to open Windows 7 Explorer (what is windows explorer 7 read c), then you will need to go to this address C: \ Windows \ System32 \ oobe \ info \ backgrounds.
It should be noted that the last two folders (info and backgrounds) may not exist, in which case we will create them ourselves.
After that, you will need to move the selected image to the backgrounds folder, having previously named it backgroundDefault jpg.
Then we open registry, to do this, click on start, then go to the "Run" tab and enter the command "regedit" and click on it with the mouse. You can also use the key combination "Win + R" and type "regedit" in the search bar and click "OK".
This will open the Registry Editor window. Now we will need to go to this address:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurentVersion
\ Authentication \ LogonUI \ Background
After we have gone to the address, double-click on the "OEMBackground" parameter and in the value line, replace the number "0" with "1".
In the event that you suddenly do not have this parameter, then it must be created, for this, right-click on the free part of the window and select the "Create DWORD Parameter" command.
Then name the created parameter "OEMBackground".
The use of the second method is that the greeting picture is changed using the Win7LogonBackgroundChanger program.
After you have downloaded this program, you will need to unpack the archive and run the program using conductorWindows 7 .
This will open the main program window, displaying the Windows 7 Welcome screen in use.
Below are the standard pictures used in Windows 7. Using the mouse, click on any picture and click on “Apply” to save. Then an additional window will open, click "Yes". After that, the background of the welcome screen will take on a different look. Such actions, as you can see, are carried out with the pictures that are in the system Windows folder 7.
Next, we'll look at how to use your drawings as a greeting. To do this, the pictures you have selected will need to be moved, for example, to a folder with pictures. I created on " Local disk From the "Welcome screen" folder. After that, open the "Win7LogonBackgroundChanger" program, click on the "Choose a folder" tab, then specify the path for the location of the picture and click "OK".
