@Littleboy: It appears you are correct. I looked in system32 and the imageres.dll did change. I guess Stardock decided that patching that file wouldn't cause any problems. @Boss0190: That's ok, I should have mentioned in my first post I was using the Vista version.
I did check in Program Files and didn't find anything. Thanks to all for the help so far. I would figure LoginStudio used a LoginUIX.exe for a while and then they figured out a better way to do it. Also I just emailed support and got back an automated message that had at the bottom "NOTE: Our office will be CLOSED beginning Monday, December 24th, in observance of Christmas and New Years. We will resume regular office hours Wednesday, February 2nd." I guess I won't be finding answer a
@boss0190, rickalot: That sounds like how it could be done except that after setting the login wallpaper I can't find a LogonUIX.exe file in the system32 directory. I think I'll see if I can just email Stardock directly and ask them.
Ok. I'm using LogonStudio Vista and it does change the logon screen wallpaper. I'm just wondering how it does it. I looked with Process Monitor and it shows LoginUI.exe was running while locked and LoginUI.exe doesn't appear to be changed so LogonStudio must be doing something other then using a LoginUI.exe
[quote]ctrl+alt+del twice[/quote] Ok. Also I just looked and didn't see a LoginUIX.exe file so maybe that's not quite how it's done on Vista.
Ok. I was thinking along the lines of if a service pack change caused LogonStudio's loginuiX.exe to crash how would you login then.
I guess that makes since. I wonder though what happens if you install a Service Pack with a new logonui.exe file and Windows uses logonuiX.exe that hasn't been updated?
Tech Wise. I do know it's safe to use. I was wondering how it did it. I figure it must have some kind of code that runs as part of the logon screen to change it. In which if so my questions would be: 1. How does it get Windows to load it's dll/ocx/whatever file to load with login screen? 2. How does that whatever file change the login screen?
Hi, I was wondering how does LoginStudio change the login screen? Justin
