    I'm curious if there is any way to show the wallpaper / desktop background when the computer is locked (windows key + L)? Currently it is the generic windows blue background with my User Pic and the box to enter my password to unlock. It would be kinda nice if I could replace the generic blue background with my desktop background.

    I kinda doubt this is do-able, but if there is a setting I'm not aware of, would appreciate the tip.
