📎 AI Summary:
The forum thread discusses customizing the Windows logon background, with the original poster asking if multiple backgrounds can be set by modifying specific file paths and registry values. Neemobeer clarifies that the OEMBackground setting functions as a switch, allowing only a single OEM branding background at a time, and explains how to change the background image. Overall, the consensus is that multiple custom backgrounds cannot be configured through this method, with helpful guidance provided on how to modify the existing background.

Hi, how's it goin'? I was wondering, with the file path "C:\Windows\System32\oobe\info\backgrounds" and the "regedit.exe" path "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Authentication\LogonUI\Background\OEMBackground" you can make your logon screen have a custom background, but in "C:\Windows\System32\oobe\info\backgrounds" can you make have more then one "backgroundDefault", and set it by changing "OEMBackground"'s value to 2?

Thanks a bunch for your precious time!

No, you can't. The DWORD OEMBackground is used as a switch 0 use the regular Windows background, 1 use an OEM branding background (the backgroundDefault image)


To switch out backgrounds you would need to rename a different image to backgroundDefault
