How can I customize the login screen for Windows Vista & 7?

I need to create a windows login UI for Windows 7 & Vista which logs user name and image from webcam (replacing their login screen). I don't know where to start from. Can I do this in C# or will I have to use C++? Any link will be helpful.

Solution

  • If you just need Windows 7 and Windows Vista support, you are looking for Credential Provider. You can find some samples in Windows SDK.

    If you want to extend pre-Vista Windows, you are looking for GINA
