After
Getting Windows
8 Metro UI on Windows 7, its time to do more with Intelligence, let’s change the Windows 7
Login screen to Windows 8 style.
Windows 8 Metro UI is having specially
designed UI for Login screen as well. Windows 8 offer
you to log
in to your system using Picture password. Though you can’t use this feature
in Windows 7 till now (be optimistic for future), but you can get the Login UI
for Windows 7 at this time.
All you need to download this Zip file from
Link Below
Windows8 Login UI for Windows 7
After downloading this, extract this by using
WinRAR
After extracting, you’ll get the two folders
x64bit files &
x86bit files
Along with to images
Background.jpg
and user200.png
As per the architecture of your Windows 7,
choose to enter the appropriate folder. Once open
You’ll further get two files
>> Authui.dll
And
>> Basebrd.dll
Now open following location (Assuming C drive
is your Windows 7 drive)
C:/Windows/system32
Search for the file Authui.dll and rename it to authui_bak.dll
(For this, you have to take the ownership of
the file by giving full permission to user modify files)
Once done Copy and paste the files authui.dll from extracted folder to
System32.
Also copy the file basebrd.dll from extracted folder and
Open the following location
C:\Windows\Branding\Basebrd
Rename the file basebrd.dll to basebrd_bak.dll
by taking proper ownership
And paste the copied file from extracted
folder to here.
This will replace the login shell of Windows
7 by login shell of windows 8.
After this, you’ll need to change the
background of the Login Screen
After this replace the existing background
image with given file background.jpg
And you're done.
[
IMPORTANT:
If you are not able to replace the any of the dll file
with new one, than rename it back to original filename, if you don’t replace
this file, authui.dll and basebrd.dll and its name is changed to _bak Windows
will not be able to find this file on next login time and you will not be able
to get to login screen.
If incase you have made mistake, than restart
your PC>>Tap F8 and select Repair your computer>> in repair Windows
open Command prompt: and using rename command rename both file to existing one
and restart to get entry to PC again
Ignore
this if you have done replacement successfully
