MS KB article 977346

The Welcome screen may be displayed for 30 seconds during the logon process after you set a solid color as the desktop background in Windows 7 or in Windows Server 2008 R2

Locate the following registry subkey:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System

Double-click the DelayedDesktopSwitchTimeout registry entry or create a new DWORD for it

In the Value data box, type 5, and then click OK.
