New Aggressive Method

Directly replaces Windows default lock screen images

New method overwrites the system default images at:

  • \C:\Windows\Web\Screen\img100.jpg\ through \img105.jpg\

Uses \ akeown\ and \icacls\ to gain write access to protected system files.

Methods now tried (in order):

  1. PersonalizationCSP (MDM-style registry)
  2. Group Policy Registry
  3. Replace Windows default images - NEW
  4. OOBE background folder
  5. WinRT API (user context)

This is the most aggressive approach and should force the sign-in screen to display the custom image before login.
