FWIW, our IT folks have customized the logon screen on our Public PCs so that while it still says to press Ctrl-Alt-Delete to login, above and below that is customized info: a welcome to the College and info on where to get guest passes if you're not part of the College community (Faculty  Staff, Retirees, Students, Alumni), etc. but it is a static screen. They do have an image or two incorporated into it as well.

If that's not what you're after, the ideas already presented about screensavers sound on the money to me.

Subject: [CODE4LIB] Windows 7 Logon Screen Screensaver

This is a long shot, I believe, but members of this group have answers.

On our Windows XP Pro student use computers, we have a custom screensaver app that runs at the logon screen and displays graphics highlighting library services and programs.   As we migrate to Windows 7, new security introduced by Microsoft limits access to custom applications when the logon screen is displayed, and we haven't figured out how to push the screensaver to the machine.   For obvious reasons we need to move to Windows 7.

Does anyone have a solution that pushes a custom screensaver to the Windows 7 logon screen?   Thanks.
