Great, never knew this was so simple. I have a question about Windows 8. I need to take a screenshot of my Windows 8 Lock Screen. I have tried an Ease Of Access app, but that didn’t help. Do you have any suggestions?
This is a good start but we need to know ALL the reg settings and ALL the folder locations ect so that we can manually, as needed, change the image to a custom one that we create, for the current user, and for all the users, or the default, or all of the above, not limits. The Microsoft way does not let you use custom pictures which is, of course, as usual, short sighted of them to say the least about it. So in effect we need to know ALL the possible ways of taking full control of these images from MS, not just the very limited wizard they provide. thanks for a good start though.
SWEET! Thank you, done and done.
Instructions didn’t work. I chose a picture from the ‘browse’ option. 15 minutes later it was still deciding….not useful advice
