Do you have a Dell or other OEM server that has loaded thier own custom bitmap wallpaper for the login screen. While I know everyone needs a pretty picture to look at while they are logging in, the fact of the matter is that it really bites for remote desktop connections. Especially if the server isn’t on your local network. You get the distinct pleasure of watching it draw block by time consuming little block.
Being one that doesn’t like to wait 2 minutes just to get a login box I consulted the all knowing one for an answer to my problem. Turns out it takes a registry editor and 30 seconds to solve this annoyance. Here goes change the value of:
HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Desktop\Wallpaper
Remove the existing value and leave the key set to nothing. Thats it…next login should be faster.
