Show your designed wallpaper while booting

Show your designed wallpaper while booting

To start with just a simple one. Guess many of us knows this one that how to show your own image or name while PC boots up. In Windows 98 it was possible by editing the logol.bmp file. But in XP, simply u need to edit a registry value.

First create a BMP file as u want. Its size should be at least 800*600 and save it.

Go to run.

Type "regedit" press enter.

In registry editor navigate to "HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Desktop".

U will find a value called "wallpaper" there. Double click that and set the value to the location of the BMP file (with Full Path. Eg: C:\Wallpaper\xyz.bmp).

If the value called wallpaper is not present then create a new string value and name it as Wallpaper and set its value.

Now Reboot. Your designed wallpaper will b shown just before the welcome screen appears.
