NT: logon background image???

[smp]

Hi... here in the lab at school we have these NT machines and I can't figure out where this background image is. It's the one that is displayed when the computer is logged off.. we got a fugly one up now and it's due for a change, thanks. </function: "stupid question">

it's in the registry

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\Wallpaper

Thanks.. er.. how do I change it?
I have stayed clear of registry territory forever.

Okay.. I found winnt256.bmp.. but that's not what I'm looking for.. by default it's the background color or whatever.. but this guy that did that lab made it this image.. which is fugly... and we want to change it... I don't know how to change it in the registry.

Wrong.
It's here, HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Desktop
You want to change the Wallpaper string.

What Dave gave you changes the wallpaper for the current user who is logged in.
