Recently we shared Windows 7 Login screen and Shellstyle for Windows XP:

Now its turn of "Boot Screen". Windows 7 contains a new boot screen which shows "Starting Windows..." text along with a glassy progressbar in the middle.
I have tried to create a similar boot screen "VistaVG Boot Screen" for Windows XP.
It looks similar to Windows 7 boot screen. You can download it from following link:
Download Windows 7 Boot Screen for Windows XP
Extract the ZIP file and you'll get following 2 files:
- NToskrnl.exe
- VistaVG Seven Boot Screen.tbs
You can use any of the 2 files to enjoy the new boot screen.
If you want to use "NToskrnl.exe" file, then you'll need to replace existing "NToskrnl.exe" file present in "%windir%\System32" folder with this new one. You can use "Replacer" to replace the files which you can find in our "Downloads" section.
Or if you want to use the second file "VistaVG Seven Boot Screen.tbs", then you'll need Tuneup Utilities to apply it which is very safe.
UPDATE: Windows Vista users can also enjoy the new Windows 7 boot screen. Visit this link.

VG, I replaced the ntoskrnl.exe, but even it's already replaced upon restarting still the original Windows XP screen appears, does it has something to do with the prefetcher file NTOSBOOT **.pf.
I verified the replaced file is replaced opening Jasc and loading a 16 palette, but don't why the screen is not showing.
I've XP SP3 in Spanish. Thanxs
VG
^^ It seems your system uses the "ntkrnlmp.exe" file, thats why its not showing the new boot screen. Try to apply the boot screen using Tuneup Utilities.
@ADHEEP
Its not possible to have that kind of animated boot screen in XP and Vista.

Yes, right the file ntkrnlmp.exe was what I did modify using reshacker extracting the bmps from your ntoskrnl.exe file. Although the image is not as crispy as the screenshot you put above, the colors looks different, and the gray bar is at the bottom of the screen instead of between the rectangle, I'm not sure if it's because i replaced the bmps only, maybe theres something else to modify to change where every bmp should appear on the screen?
