Problems w/ WB 5 startup + shutdown

Wallpaper displays during system start-up?

from Stardock Forums
After installing WB 5, I've noticed that some wallpaper is loading during system start-up (right before the Windows boot screen comes up) and during system shutdown or restart. This appears for a split second and it disappears.

I uninstalled WB 5 to see if this was the cause of it...and apparently it was because after I uninstalled it, the wallpaper no longer appeared during boot and shutdown. So then I installed Wb 5 again and after reboot....the wallpaper appeared again on startup and shutdown.

Anyone know what this is and how to prevent it from showing up? Do I need to EXCLUDE some Windows program through "Per Application?"

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

This might be some sort of new feature ... but not sure

Yeah, I had it too. I installed wb 5 and applied the arrow theme and I got the grass wallpaper just before the login screen on my next reboot. I guess it's a new feature.

You can remove the wallpaper through the registry (more info: http://www.mydesktophelp.com/tips/win150.php). Leave the key, but delete the link to the arrow wallpaper.

Good luck !
