Code: ; Change LogonUI and Startscreen Default Background Color [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Accent] "StartColor"=dword:ffb76800 "AccentColor"=dword:fff86400 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Accent] "DefaultColorSet"=dword:00000011 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Accent] "ColorSet_Version3"=dword:00000011 These keys don't seem to work in Windows 8.1. I'm looking to change the background color of the logon screen after pressing ctrl+alt+delete (it's currently purple). In 8.0, it could be changed by setting one of the keys above, "DefaultColorSet", i.e.: Code: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Accent] "DefaultColorSet"=dword:00000005 Anyone have any luck?

In Windows 8.0 it works properly but in Windows 8.1 it works but the default purple color screen first appears and the color changes to the user selected color, am still trying out the find the reason..
Aye, I'm working on an 8.1 system that's joined to a domain. I've got ctrl+alt+delete set, and the last username isn't shown, so what I see is the generic, big square gray/white user profile icon, to the right of it the username/password fields, and most importantly the purple background. I don't even see my selected background or accent color because this is essentially going to be a multi-user system. .. Really wish DefaultColorSet still worked, that purple doesn't jive with current working conditions. Setting a policy that forces the background color doesn't work, either, because users will still want the ability to change the colors to their liking, and I don't want to take that away.
Try this new tweak, it solved my problem Code: [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Accent] "StartColor"=dword:fff09c00 "AccentColor"=dword:ffb76900 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Accent] "DefaultStartColor"=dword:fff09c00
a bit weird, but I'm wondering if there is a Reg key to display "Quick Launch" bar in the taskbar. I can't avoid my love for it! would be easy for me in future as I deploy alot of windows PCs monthly!
Finally I found a solution for this nonsense issue. I also had the same issue where after installing fresh windows 8.1 at login screen/user welcome screen default purple color screen would first appear and right after color would change to the one I have selected under personalize options in metro UI. Thanks for this.
Can somebody share how can I disable user welcome screen in windows 8.1 (x64 pro) that appears right after windows logo ? No gui boot/Boot UI tuner allows me to get rid of the Windows logo and loading circle, however I cannot find a way to disable the user welcome screen/splash screen that appears right after logo screen, even though the only administrator account has no password (password and username entry is disabled through netplwiz.exe). Lock scren has also been successfully disabled, but user welcome screen still appears during boot.
The tweaks for removing the folders from 'This PC' aren't working for me. I've been testing my custom built images on VMs and they never seem to remove them during OSD. If I run the tweaks after from the OS, it removes them just fine. Anyone know why that's happening?
