You can do more than just change the logon screen background.

You can change the logon screen shadows (cosmetically useful on some different backgrounds)
Regedit HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Aut hentication\LogonUI, add or change the dword value for "ButtonSet" = 0 (default, light shadow) or 1 (dark shadow) or 2 (no shadow)

You can decide if the Shutdown button is present
Regedit HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Currentversion\Pol icies\System, add or change the dword value "ShutdownWithoutLogon" = 0 (doesn't show Shutdown button) or 1 (default, shows Shutdown button)

You can add a legal notice (text message) to the logon screen
Regedit HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Currentversion\Pol icies\System, string value "LegalNoticeCaption" = "whatever title you want", string value "LegalNoticeText" = "whatever text you want"

... You can use a little trick to insert separate lines into these text fields. Place an extra character (like X or whatever) wherever you want a new line in your text field. Copy the hex value 0D (the ascii code for carriage return) into the clipboard - you can create and delete a temporary Binary value to accomplish this easily in Regedit. Then binary edit the text strings, pasting this 0D hex value in place of your X (or whatever) characters.

You can have a report that tracks (failed) logon attempts
Regedit HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Currentversion\Pol icies\System, dword value "DisplayLastLogonInfo" = 0 (default, disabled) or 1 (enabled)
