A few days ago I used a similar program from tweaks.com (http://tweaks.com/software/tweakslogon/) and it was very easy to use as well, it even changed the file size to match the file size limit on the image. Not saying this one is any better or worse than that one, I've never used that one.

Sometimes you won't be able to do this. The logon background will always be the default background unless the OEM logon background setting is set to on in the registry.

This method (in the OP) is great and really simple for those not willing to mess with the registry themselves, but here is a guide for anyone wanting to know how to do this themselves:
