Log On Screen - Change or Remove Text Branding

   Information
Hey all I think everybody knows how to change the logon screen background according to Brinks tutorial:

http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/5382-log-screen-change.html

Well, this tutorial will help show you how to change or remove the log on screen text branding in Windows 7.
   Note
You can remove after install, but I don't know if you can edit/replace it after installation. I did managed to replace it before installation modifying the install.wim file.

EXAMPLE: Log On Screen

Here's How:
1. In Windows Explorer, go to C:\Windows\Branding\Basebrd and take ownership of the basebrd.dll file.


2. If you do not already have reshacker or restorator installed, then download and install one of them or a program like them.
3. In Windows Explorer, go to C:\Windows\Branding\Basebrd and open the basebrd.dll file with reshacker, restorator, or etc.
4. Navigate to the bitmap folder and delete it.
NOTE: You can also edit or replace this BMP file as well to change the log on screen text branding.

5. When you restart the computer next time, the text branding will be gone on the log on screen.

So that's how it's done! I see no reason to remove the logo and version but I'm willing to admit when I'm wrong. I posted link to this on that other thread.

How can i EDIT the Text ???? am not able to edit.

I was able to upload the default resource BMP and tried Editing. I just cleared the text and changed the background to black. Hence, i replaced with a Black BMP of the same size with no text. Now the color of the default text changed to Black and the text as not affected.

So how do i change the text ???

**** why mess with something like this ? the way I see it, and seeing how I learned things the hard way, I believe that there's no reason to fix something If it aint broken.

Hello Jordan,

This is not about fixing, but about customizing and personalizing to fit one's needs or wants instead. That's all. :)

Dridzz, i was about to change mine and forgot where it was located so came here to double check and noticed. Maybe might want to add in the tut to add / rename the default one to basebrd-BACKUP.dll
or whoops, really mean even better like the branding folder to branding-backup

Just incase they want to go back or need to etc.. Plus incase of mess up, testing or whatever.. etc etc...

Right?

oohh forgot. Anybody that has done it so far ...

Which exact number is the one we need to change to custom the .bmp to our own brand ? All of them or 2120 ??

Did you create a new bmp image with the text you want on it ? and also did you redo/create all of them or just one ?
