Close the Command Prompt window and follow step 8,
previously, to complete the process.
If all you want is a more generic-sounding username, see ???Rename Your Profile
Folder,??? later in this chapter.
Customize the Welcome Screen Background
Unless you??™ve opted to log in automatically (described earlier), you??™ll see the
Welcome screen every time you turn on your PC (not to mention every time
you shut down). Why not dress it up a bit with some custom wallpaper?
Open Windows Explorer and navigate to your \Windows\System32 folder.
Take ownership of the imageres.dll file, as described in ???Inheritance and
ownership,??? earlier in this chapter, and then set the permissions to Full
Control for your user account. When that??™s done, create two copies of the
file in the \Windows\System32 folder, naming them imageres-new.dll and
imageres-old.dll.
Next, download and install the XN Resource Editor, freely available at http://
www.wilsonc.demon.co.uk/d10resourceeditor.htm. Open the XN tool and
select View ??? Options. From the Choose which parser to use list, select XN
Resource Editor internal resource parser, and click OK.
Then from the File menu, select Open, find imageres-new.dll, and open the
file. On the left, you??™ll see the various graphical and user-interface resources
in the file organized into a collapsible tree; expand the IMAGE branch and
then open one of the numbered folders therein. Inside each numbered folder
is a single entry representing a different resolution of the stock Welcome
screen background image.
