Thinkpads Forum

Hey All,

I have three questions. This is for everyone who is using a stock install from IBM/Lenovo on their T60's.

1. - Do you have the ThinkPad Think Americas default wallpaper loaded before you even log onto your desktop? Or is it the plain default blue one?

2. - For the Power Manager application, under "Select Schemes" what schemes are there? What are they each titled exactly?

3. - When you press the blue ThinkVantage button, do you have a "Welcome" option you can click on the menu of the ThinkVantage Productivity Center application?

The reason I ask is because I did a complete format and installed the OS and applications by scratch and so, I want to see what changes there are from then to now. So now I'm curious.

Thanks all.. I know they're weird questions But any help on this would be great.

Thanks again

Anyone? Please?

There is a reg setting that you can change (be careful) to change the wallpaper and theme displayed during login and before your main desktop comes online. That can be changed if various programs try to screw with the logon portion.

Also, depending on what you have used (e.g. NHC), the power profiles may have been changed. They are stored in the same place the Windows power profiles are in the registry.

Welcome to the forum, however please note that this is not a chatroom and answers will not be instantaneous. Bumping your message up less than two hours after your initial posting on a Saturday afternoon in the summer is a good way to get your thread locked.

The TweakUI XP tool that's a component of the Windows XP powertoys from Microsoft will also allow you to do this.

My apologies. You are right. Me being in Canada with my TP as my only source of entertainment (no TV either), has gotten me a little antsy

To the rest: Is the background default blue before logon on stock systems? Or does it have the IBM background as a pre-logon image as well?

Thanks
