Windows Vista offers a variety of customization options for users, including the ability to create custom login screens. This article will show you how to customize your Windows Vista login screen so that it looks more like your own personal computer. To begin, open the Start menu and type “cmd” into the search bar. Once you have found the command prompt, type “netstat -an” and press Enter. This will show you all of the active network connections on your computer. You will see a list of networks in alphabetical order, with their addresses and status. The network connected to your computer is listed first in this list. Next, open the “System Preferences” program and click on the “Login Options” tab. On this tab, you will see a variety of options for customization of your Windows Vista login screen. You can choose to have a standard Windows Vista login screen or create a custom one that looks more like your own personal computer. The first step is to decide which type of login screen you want to create. If you want a standard Windows Vista login screen, select it from the drop-down list next to “Logon Screen.” If you want a custom login screen that looks more like your own personal computer, select “Custom Login Screen.” Once you have chosen one of these options, click on the “Create Login Screen” button to start creating your newlogin screen. When you finish creating your newlogin screen, click on the “Finish” button to finish it and return to the System Preferences program. You can now use this newlogin screen as your default one when logging into Windows Vista!
All you have to do is download and install the utility, and click the apply button to immediately see the changes. (It will lock your computer to show you, so you’ll have to use your password to unlock it)
The utility is remarkably easy to use, just click on an entry in the list, and use the Apply button to select it. The download button will take you to the directory of logon screens on WinCustomize.
You can also click the Create button and choose any image you want. For instance, if you wanted to have the logon screen match your desktop wallpaper, just choose the wallpaper using the browse button.
You can then save the wallpaper as a logon screen file and even share it with other people on WinCustomize.
