Last edit: 04/27/13.
V2 - Logon background editor

Features:
· Change Windows logon background image
· Restore default background
· Tiled effect (XP only)
· Supports now Seven/Vista/XP

Here is the image I use for my logon background: GIVE IT A SHOT.

I actually haven't tested it on XP and on Vista, so if anybody does, please, let me know.

Post here for any bugs or suggestions, and I'll solve them as soon as possible.

Old post.

Batch file for changing Windows's account logon background image.
Tested on Windows 7, so if anybody with different versions could tell me if works for them too it's appreciated.
Also if you find any bug or have any suggestion I'd like to hear it.
Written wholly by me.

My main OS isn't Windows, though I have a WinXP VM for analysing malware, I tried your script there to and got "unknown error".
But, well XP is old, so I don't really expect it to run there.

The only thing that is inconvenient is typing in a path. On command line it is no problem, I can look at the directories with dir, I can get suggestions and autocompletion with tab, but typing that into a program is almost impossible without copy&paste the path from the picture properties. Maybe you can allow arguments for your file or -- for making it noob friendly read the contents of the current directory and list them to choose (in that case the user has to start the .bat from the picture location)

It is just a suggestion, though. I like your program. You definitely know how to write batch. Most people that publish batch scripts use hardcoded paths instead of environmental variables, which is kind of stupid, as it makes the batch only working for the standard case (not everyone has Windows on drive C)

Many thanks, man.
I think I'll follow your suggestion and gonna try making the filenames from the current directory also available.
Anyhow tab suggestions are working; at least for me.
