Can I change the default Windows 2003 logon screen installed by Dell?

I work for a small company that runs a Windows 2003 on a Dell Power Edge 700 server, set up with Remote access. Is there any way that I can change the default, high-graphics splash/logon screen that comes up when you remote desktop into this server over a VPN connection? My boss is of the strong opinion that "time is money", and he wants to speed the loading of this screen. I would appreciate any input on this issue.

Open Regedit

 

Go to Hkey_Users\.Default\Control Panel\Desktop and change the value of the Wallpaper key. You can just leave the entry blank and it won't load anything which sounds like what you're after.

Thanks! That resolved it!
