    On my older PC I followed instructions which were given on this forum, but I have forgotten them.

    Thank you,

    I now don't have to jump through the sign-in hoop, but when the screen which is displayed while it's booting, it has a pretty picture background. I would like to replace this with a plain colour.

    How can I achieve this?

    I'm afraid that didn't work.

    It booted up with the picture of the sea from a cave.
