    Hey
    I need the new "backgrounddefault.jpg" from the original Vaio VPC-Z21 (VAIO Z 2011) Windows 7 Logon screen.
    The image is located at "C:\Windows\System32\oobe\info\backgrounds"
    Can somebody help me out?

    Here you go.

    Funny, first thing I did was replacing this background as I didn't like it :)


    Cheers,

    God I hate that background. Makes a great screen look terrible, even if it's only for purposes of booting up. How do you change it?

    :)
    Just use any Aero theme (right click on desktop>personalize), it will change automatically.


    Cheers,

    I want my custom Logon screen :D

    But it needs some improvements, because it was made from 10:16 picture and I had to use Paint :D

    I know, isn't it? Blurry little colored cubes on a field of grey? Really?

    Muy cool :D.

    1) how did you remove the logo?
    2) can you upload it somewhere?

    Thanks.

    He already uploaded it to imgur. Just click on the image, and it should open up the jpg in your browser, then you can save it. :)
