You will have to edit the boot.ini or replace the ntoskrnl.exe with a downloaded bootscreen(SP1: ntoskrnlsp.exe). Please don't do this without a quality third party software.

Boot up your computer in safemode, enable view hidden files and locate:

C:\Windows\System32 and find the file named "ntoskrnl.exe" / "ntoskrnlsp.exe"

Take a backup copy of this file and then replace it with your downloaded one and restart. You will need the backup in case anything goes wrong or to reset it.

or

Boot up your computer in safemode, enable view hidden files and locate Boot.ini. Right click and chose open with notepad to edit.

[boot loader]

timeout=30

default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS

[operating systems]

multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect

Add the parameter to the last line: /kernel=boot_screen_file_name

Example: You saved the file as Bootscreen.exe: kernel=Bootscreen.exe

Move your manual file to Windows\System32 and restart.

Use a software such as Awesome Logon Screen Changer, its available at http://danusoft.com/ and it comes with a preview screen of what your logon screen is going to look like, comes with a bunch of presets, and lets you revert your changes back to default. I've tested this on Windows Vista and 7, worked great.
