Vista Logon Changer
The logon screen in Vista is relatively attractive but it gets a bit boring after a while, especially if you reboot or log off often. Wouldn't you like to change it up and give it your own personal touch? This month's utility enables you to change the background image and sound clip that plays at logon. In addition, it comes with 10 photographic images, 8 original drawings, and 12 original sound files. You can also use your own images and sound clips.
