Login Screen Capture 7

Login Screen Capture 7 is an application with a rather suggestive name. It aims to provide you with a fast, convenient way to capture the login screen of your Windows 7 computer.

Prior to using this application, you must perform a set of operations in order to make it work properly, which you can only perform if you have administrator rights. Fortunately, all the instructions are clearly stated in the documentation, so if you read it carefully, everything should run smoothly.

The application requires you to take ownership of the 'Utilman.exe' file in the 'System32' folder and rename it, then copy the provided executable to the aforementioned location. Once you do so, the application is practically granted access to take snapshots of the logon screen and you can capture the screen once you lock Windows by clicking on the 'Ease of Access' button. Please note that you must rename the original 'Utilman.exe' file back to the initial name, in order to prevent system failures.

As complicated as this setup process might be, working with the actual program is very easy. It features a simple interface that comprises all the options within a single window, not that there are so many.

Pressing the 'Capture' button displays the snapshot within the preview area, enabling you to have a look at the image before saving it to your computer. The 'Save' button helps you export the picture to the hard drive in JPEG format.

In case you did not go though the entire procedure described above, the application will work as a screen capture application, taking snapshots of the entire desktop.

Login Screen Capture 7 is a fast way to capture the appearance of your logon screen in Windows 7. Alternatively, it can be used as a screen capturing tool, but its output format support is limited.
