Developer’s Description

By Julien MANICI

Change wallpaper of your Windows 7 login screen.

Windows 7 Logon Background Changer is a free open source software that lets you change the wallpaper of the Windows 7 login screen (also known as "welcome screen" or "login screen"). It does not change any system file, and the program itself does not requires admin rights to run (it will just ask you to run as admin a very simple cmd file that creates the required folder and registry key with the appropriate rights) It creates a few JPEG files based on the image you want to put as wallpaper for the Windows 7 login screen, applies the appropriate cropping and sizing and saves them using the best compression quality possible.

Read your installation prompts carefully....
Aurora LebeoufSeptember 6, 2015
Pros
It works. Easy to use.
Cons
Beware of adware, but it can be avoided. Another con is, I wish they would keep the original windows log on layout. I just wanted to change the background but it took the logos and everything out. :/
Summary
When you install the program, pay close attention to the "accept" and "decline" options. The first time they ask, yes you have to accept their terms of service, but everything after that choose "decline" to decline their optional offers, which are the adwares and garbage. They make it look like hey are asking for additional terms of service, but they are actually asking if you want their "offers" . Most free programs are like that. Always install choosing "custom installation" so that you can choose what get's installed or just read the installation very carefully and don't keep clicking accept, accept, accept without actually reading what they are asking you!
Cannot delete this program from my compute!

Pros
Very pretty background pictures.
Cons
Had previous version which ran without problems. INstalled new version and it moves me to their screen when I am not performing an action for 1 minute! This is a real distraction! Most miserably, I CANNOT delete the program from my computer! Worthless!! Downloaders BEWARE!
Summary
Installed all kinds of malware and unwanted software
Ohrr12April 14, 2015
Pros
none at all
Cons
I didn't even open it because there were five or six other software installers that pop[ed up. BE CAREFUL. Thank God I have a good antivirus and malware detector installed.
Summary
Why would CNET even promote this kind of thing? I used to trust them but, no more.
Terrible software

Summary
pls dont download
Installs browser hijacking malware.
KingMerrygoldJanuary 2, 2014
Pros
Finally able to change my logon splash screen; should be an ordinary feature of Windows 7.
Cons
Installed several malicious browser hijackers (e.g., Search Protect by Conduit) that were a complete pain to remove, and I can't even be sure they are gone. They kept coming back weeks later. This happens even if you use the included binary without installing it as a program.
Summary
Do not download this software as it is secretly bundled with several malicious programs.
Easy in use
herrysmith926September 28, 2013
Pros
Software is easy to use, after empowering this tool you can save any images from your predefined folder and to welcome screen of the Window 7 based PC
Cons
This itself creates JPEG files for the image.
Summary
works just great
simon the catJune 12, 2013
Pros
easy to use. was able to change folders so i could use my own pictures. looks great and is fun.
Cons
no cons but it did continue to ask me to click "yes" over and over again. finally just closed it after clicking "yes" twice and it worked just fine. not really a con just a bit confusing...
Summary
try it you like it. it is great I clicked the little direct link down load link under the Cnet installer down load. you get just the program. no bs from Cnet. Sorry Cnet but the down load button is NOT a place to put extra stuff. It only leads to bad reviews for what you are downloading.
not updated in download
googlybearhug4uMay 23, 2013
Pros
works just fine after update
Cons
although i was prompted,the first version was crashing whenever i scrolled through the folder i chose. after my third fail, i decided to go ahead with the update. all was good after that.
Summary
this is a nifty little tool to change your logon background. once loaded and updated, it works as advertised. a suggestion would be more logon page options. i wish to remove the logon screen administrator photo, and move the logon box around. also change the font of user.
Installs crappy annoying software
SupaTreadzApril 20, 2013
Pros
Not worth it. DO NOT DOWNLOAD
Cons
So many annoying additional programs messing up my browser, two were simply to remove but the others are irritating. Bullshit.
Summary
DONT DOWNLOAD. Scum of the Earth are the people who develop this stupid programs.
Installs extra buggy software
plax77February 11, 2013
Pros
The program itself does exactly as advertised. It'll change your logon screen with no hassle and the GUI is pretty nice without bogging down the program.
Cons
On the other hand It installed 4 additional programs on my computer that there didn't seem to be any way around installing with the built-in installer. Two of them were fairly harmless and didn't do much. The other two automatically installed themselves in my browser and began to constantly reboot my browser making me lose the data that I had stored on the webpage I was working on at the time. The reason it happened more than once is that it reinstalled itself after I just deleted it from chrome.
Summary
Does what it's supposed to, but at a retarded cost.
