    Heads up everyone... Alienware posted the wallpaper pack today (original AW wallpapers included with your system). You can grab it...

    HERE

    This is compatible with all AW systems and can be used to restore your original if you wiped them.

    I believe we have erawnelia to thank for this. I recall one of his posts where he mentioned getting with the SW folks to put this together. Thanks Brian!

    In a future update, we need to ask them to include user icons as well.

    In the event of a clean OS install, copy/paste the wallpapers to:
    C:\Windows\Web\Wallpaper\Alienware (you will need to create the Alienware folder)

    User Pictures/Icons/Avatars (whatever you want to call them) are found here (this is a hidden directory):
    C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\User Account Pictures\Default Pictures

    Note: Until AW adds these to the wallpaper pack, you can grab them here (attached).

    Windows Login Screen - AW style:
    To use the Alienware Red Glyph wallpaper as your Startup screen, see:
    http://forum.notebookreview.com/alienware/470177-alienware-login-background-gone-m11x.html

    **Very Cool Tweak**
    If you decide Red is not your color, see hel20es's post for different colors - he took care of the color editing and what he came up with looks great! Nice job! Use his instructions or the ones I outlined here to re-enable a custom image for the windows login screen.

    Discuss away...

    Yep - sorry, I've updated my post. These are the original wallpapers which came with your system. Main use - to restore when you perform a clean install. This is frequently asked by new peeps when they wipe their system. ;)
