Help OK, let's do it! - Prepare the picture
Create a bmp picture, size 640 x 480, 16 Colors. MS Paint can save pictures in that format, many other graphic editors can do it too.
Name your picture "boot.bmp" and copy it to your Windows folder (e.g. "C:\Windows\". - Change System settings
Now you have to change the boot settings. Make sure, you can see hidden files (you can set that in "Folder settings"). Make the file "boot.ini", which would be on your root directory (e.g. "C:\"), writable (right mouse click onto it, "Properties", deselect "Write protected", click "OK") and open it with an editor (e.g. Notepad).
Find the entry "[operating systems]" and to the line beneath, add "/bootlogo /noguiboot". (Example picture in german) Now save and close "boot.ini", make it write protected again and restart your system. If you did every thing correctly, it should load with the new Bootscreen!

Hello Ali,
Unfortunately there is no way to change the Windows logon screen without the use of third-party programs.
In Windows XP, the logon screen is referred to as the Welcome Screen. The GUI elements for the Welcome screen are housed in the logongui.exe file in your System32 directory. Since this is a compiled file, the only way to edit it is through the use of some third-party program such as Resource Hacker.
