Windows 7 why is my login screen different, and...

[stevae]

i just wanted to know why my login screen is different, and how can i get back the old one with the hand and all the colors? nothing irritates, me more than ms changing things on your system without you approving it. why would they change this login screen? i really liked the old one, and the new one is gay looking. any help is very much appreciated.

Have a look at this.

I should have stated this from the beginning.....

Simply download the official RC from MS and do a "clean" install.

well hell, here i am again in this thread with that old problem rearing it's ugly head. now that i have switched to the rc 7100, and went to the x64 version, i can't get the logon screen to change. i followed all of the same instructions, EXCEPT THAT I USED QWORDS INSTEAD OF DWORDS, since i am using the 64 bit system now. however, it is NOT working. i am back to being stuck with that gay blue logon screen, with the little flowers on it. still can't understand how they could have picked that, with all the other cool backgrounds available.
anyway, any help anyone can offer will be greatly appreciated. thanks.

sorry , i have so many posts in a row, but no one has replied, and someone might find this information useful. if you want to change your logon screen easily and without having to do much of anything yourself, just go to this address:

Windows 7 Logon Background Changer (Julien-Manici.com)

works perfectly!!!

I use a program by Stardock called logonVista, it can change your logon screen in RC1, They also have a Boot Skin program for VISTA but does not work yet in 64 Bit for RC 1
