We have posted about a login screen for XP which looks very close to Windows 7 Build 7057. Now we all know that Windows 7 RC build has been compiled which contains the same login screen.
Our friend "RaulWindows" has created a new login screen for Windows XP which looks similar to Windows 7. Following are a few updates:
- More performance in loading logonUI
- Organization of code as been improved
- Implement fade effect in ballon message (Username incorrect, caps lock on etc)
- Background update and fixed
- String Table updated
- Rewrite organization of Picture, Picture frame and Picture padding
You can download it using following link:
Download Windows 7 RC Login Screen for XP
After downloading, extract the ZIP file using WinZip, WinRAR or 7-zip and look for the "LogonUI.exe" file. That's the file which contains the login screen. You'll need to replace existing "logonui.exe" file present in "%windir%\System32" folder with this downloaded one. Use "Replacer" to replace the file which you can find in our "Downloads" section.
You can also use Tuneup Utilities to easily apply the login screen which is very safe.
Or you can follow the instructions given by the author.

I have a tip, before changing anything like system files first backup the original ones in case a faulty or a incident happens. This tip is highly recomended.

This is the real 'how-to'
Setup logon
Navigate to \WINDOWS\Resources and create folder with name Logon.
Navigate to WideScreen or Normal Screen and copy the file logonUI.exe to Logon Folder.
Copy the .REG files do \WINDOWS\Resources\Logon files and double click in setup.reg, click in Yes and Ok and Log off, Restart not required.
To restore Windows XP Default's logon apply restore.reg.
Enjoy, DR
