Windows Login Screen: Move login icons to the left?

I would like to customize the windows login screen. I would like the icons to click on to be on the left, rather than centered.

The Windows Login is current showing on a projector, and the center of the projector is blocked, so i would like to move the icons to the left (or right) so that I can see what I am clicking on.

Is it possible to move the icons?

You cannot do this.

There are ways and means to customize the appearance (which icons, what style, what text and look of dialogue boxes) of the login screen (sometimes quite tricky), but not the position of its elements. The position and alignment will be hard-coded into the logon executable.

Experts on this site agree with me: http://www.sevenforums.com/customization/10856-move-user-icon-login-screen.html

Agreed. The logon screen is an essential element of the security of windows 7.

A tool called windows 7 logon screen tweater claimed that it can change the logon screen position of the elements on the logon screen and it turns out to be a Trojan horse virus as mentioned in the link below.

If you're brave, it can be done.

I've played around a little with this stuff and it's a lot of work for a tiny change.
