Change graphics in Classic Logon box

I saw at a local hospital that the logon dialog box had the hospitals logo and name in it Rather than the Microsoft Windows XP logo. Does anyony know how to change it and what the BMP requirements are?

Thanks,

On this site there's the REGISTRY HACK or you can just download the FREEWARE PROGRAM that'll do it for you.

Hope this helps!

If your computer is a member of a workgroup or is a stand-alone computer, you can replace the picture on the Welcome screen with another picture. First, store a head shot that you've scanned or taken with a digital camera in the My Pictures folder. The picture will be automatically resized to fit the picture box, so don't worry too much about getting an exact size, and then follow these steps:

1.
Click Start, click Control Panel, and then click User Accounts.

2.
Click your account name, and then click Change My Picture.

3.
Click the picture you like, and then click Change Picture.

4.
To find the user's picture, click Browse for more pictures, click the picture you want to use, and then click Open.

Now, when you open the Welcome screen, you will see the new picture.

I am looking for a hack to change the logo on the classic ctrl+alt+del logon box. These computers at the hospital as well as those a my office are domain members. Windows XP pro logo is currently there. The hospital managed to change the logo in the top quarter of the dialog box. So far the only hacks I have found are for the home welcome screens.

EE usually does support providing hacks here. Just thought I might mention this as I have seen others offer these and moderators have banned them, it attracts the wrong attention.
