Now extract the RAR file using WinRAR or 7-zip. First you'll need to install "Stardock LogonStudio for Vista" to apply the login screen. Its FREE and included in the RAR file.
After installing LogonStudio, double-click on the "Windows7.logonvista" file present in "LogonVista File" folder. It'll open LogonStudio, Apply the login screen and you have done.
If you also want to change the branding text ""Windows Vista Ultimate" (or other) to "Windows 7 Ultimate", then you'll also need to replace existing "basebrd.dll" file present in "%windir%\branding\basebrd\" folder with new file present in "Dll File" folder in the downloaded RAR file.
First take permission of "basebrd.dll" file present in "%windir%\branding\basebrd\" folder using following tutorial:

Hi Vishal. Where exactly would i find the basebrd.dll file?

^^ In "%windir%\branding\basebrd\" folder. Here %windir% means Windows folder present in system drive where Windows Vista is installed.

Hi Vishal. How can I apply this login screen to Windows Server 2008? I replaced bitmaps in imageres.dll, but login screen is still flat.
VG
^^ Sorry but it has not been tested on Server 2008 so can't help much.
Dementor
I've found the solution - to make Server 2008 use resources from imageres.dll you should replace authui.dll in Server with Vista RTM (6000, w/o SP) one, then background will appear on login screen. But it works only on x86 version. And they say it doesn't work for SP2
