Remove the Login Screen Icon

[s0uLFir3]

Okay, I've been changing the Login Screen Background, but what I really want to do is remove the Icon (the User Account Picture).
I want to remove the whole thing, I just want my Username Showing and a box under it to type the Password. Is that possible?

I am running Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit.

You can try the solution at this page
Or you can apply the registry hack called: Windows classic log on screen windows 7.

Thank you guys, but I don't think I was clear with what I want to do.. I'll try again..
I want to log in. I want that page there.. I want everything to be there, just that I want to remove the User Account Picture from there..
Maybe the picture I've attached helps..



Or maybe even make it completely transparent! :S

Hello,

that is exactly what this post is all about:

I am not sure how to get it to work, or if it works at all. If I
manage to get it done, I'll post a step-by-step solution there.

i was actually looking for this as well, and i did find something to that affect. i used logon workshop to not removed the pic, but made it invisible.

the app was posted on this thread: http://www.sevenforums.com/customization/92397-logon-workshop.html. but, the actual link to DL the file was removed. no worries, you can DL the file here: http://browse.deviantart.com/?qh=§ion=&q=logon+workshop#/d4dvvj3

it's a great program to use, doesn't have any support whatsoever, so you'll have to figure things out for/by yourself -- much like i did...LOL once you work with it for a while, things will become much easier to understand. enjoy.

EDIT: oh, and with LWS (logon workshop) you can do a lot of things on the logon screen. like how i have the login area to the right of the screen instead of the default in-the-middle-of-the-screen area. i also moved my shutdown button to the left of the screen as well, but you won't see it on the "locked" logon screen.

Thanks it did the trick for me as well, just be careful

yup i know what you mean. i had to do a system restore (from restore point) cuz my logon screen was, well, nothing but a black screen LOL. edit with care and do create restore points.

I figured it out! Windows can't stand transparent images (if you use one Windows will fail to load the logon screen!!) , so if you want to make something transparent you need to:

A: set 0 pixel size for the button/object
B (when A is not an option): create a small image (eg. 20x20 px) and create a 1% opacity (it seems you can't to go any lower) 1 pixel dot so the image is no longer transparent and it will work fine!

Cheers!

This might be an easier way to do what you want.
found here: Only show user and password text boxes on Windows 7 Logon Screen (hide usernames)

Start -> Run
type: secpol.msc

Navigate to Local Policies
Select Security Options

On the right hand side locate: Interactive Logon: Do not display last user name

Enable this feature.

Now your user icon will not appear. Done.

Just tried this and my picture still shows up on the login screen
