Default Desktop Background Image

This is here so I don't have to look it up all the time.  When using VM's, multiple PCs, etc.  It's nice to have a logon background that gives you some information about what the machine is, userid, password, etc.

So, to do it:

1. Create a bitmap and save to the local hard drive (I chose c:\background.bmp)....;

2. Update registry with the following:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Desktop]
"Wallpaper"="C:\\Background.bmp"
"TileWallpaper"="0"
"ConvertedWallpaper"="C:\\Background.bmp"
