All you have to do is navigate to C:\WINDOWS\Web\Wallpaper and copy/paste your preferred wallpapers into that folder. Delete the ones you do not want to have that come stock with your computer.

I've made sure that the registry has nothing after it to make it go into that folder, but it continually does. Does anyone know why and if so how do I fix it? Thanks.

If so then there are two options to remove it: 1. Goto Control Panel -> User Accounts and enable the welcome screen. The welcome screen will display a list of users and have it's own blue background which is can't be changed unless you use Stardock LoginUI and I don't think the State would have used LoginUI to do it. 2. If you want the classic login screen, download Tweak UI and use it to copy your current wallpaper to the login screen and replace the state logo one. @Al M: Are you refering to the wallpaper displayed behind the standard Login Screen which asks for a name and password?
