Change Vista Logon Screen

[thefewtheproud]

So as I have discovered Vista Home Premium does not include the secpol.msc utility that would allow me to change the vista logon screen to the classic enter your username and password version. Is there any other way to do this on Home Premium?

You can use Stardock's LogonStudio to change those nice and easy. It works on XP and Vista(x86 and x64) and I think its totally free.

Yea, I did download and try that but there is no way to use that classic method of log on. Really all you can do with that is change the background on the welcome screen which is still kind of cool.

Be aware of that software linked above. I'm giving it a try now, and I've BSoD'd a few times with a STOP c000021a error, which is traced to the winlogon.exe file.
