HP Login Wallpaper and Avatar

[Marcham93]

Could someone please upload these?

I did a clean install and would like them back.

Thanks in advance.

I'll upload them if I my Envy gets to my local FedEx today. Hopefully it does.

I'd appreciate this, too!

I can upload them but any idea of where the avatar picture would be saved?

also, what login wallpaper are you talking about? I have some HP wallpapers, but the login wallpaper is just the windows 7 regular wallpaper.

EDIT: Nevermind, they didn't set some of the values in the registry to allow the custom wallpaper, and the wallpaper was to big in size in the directory, so it did not work. I changed it, so it does work

I will upload all backgrounds in a few minutes, but I am still looking for the avatar pictures if anyone knows.

Alright here are all the wallpapers that came with the ENVY 14:

Free File Hosting Made Simple - MediaFire

I cannot find the avatar, once I changed my avatar, it disappeared, and I can no longer find where it is on the computer

What registry values have you changed in order to make the resized wallpaper work? Where do I have to put the wallpaper in which format?

Alright here is what you do:

First place the background called login wallpaper (from the files I uploaded) to this location:

C:\Windows\System32\oobe\Info\backgrounds

Name the wallpaper:

BackgroundDefault

Jpeg should be fine, which is what I uploaded it in.

Next edit the registry. Go to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ Software \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Authentication \ LogonUI \ Background

There should be something called OEMBackground. Change the value to 1 and it will work.

If you do not have this location in the registry, create the location:

Next, right click in the location and create a new DWORD. Rename it to OEMBackground and change the value to 1.

This should work. This is what OEM's do to give custom backgrounds, and on mine, it seems like they messed up on mine by not setting the values right, and placing the wrong background in the location.

If you want another custom login wallpaper background, you can use any image, as long as it is smaller the 256Kb.
