Vertical Logon Screen
I have a custom background screen that was used with XP that I would like to use with Win7. The problem is the logon boxes for multiple users in Win7 run horizontal. I would like to change them to the way XP placed the logon boxes (Vertical).
Is there a way to have the logon Screen boxes be placed in the center of the screen in a vertical position. I have 5 users.
Thanks... RCH1

This is currently not possible. The login screen was rebuilt for Windows Vista, and this new infrastructure continues to be used in Windows 7.If this was helpful, please vote by clicking the green triangle. If it solves the issue, click Propose as Answer. Thanks!
