Windows 7 Logon Reworked is a sexy welcome screen replacement
Just about everyone customizes his or her Windows desktop somehow, but most probably don't bother tinkering with the Welcome screen. After all, you really don't see it that often unless you're a stickler for security and always log off when you're AFK (which is a good habit to get into, really).
If that's how you roll, take a look at Windows 7 Logon Reworked. It's available in three variations -- the one you see above, another with the Windows logo embedded in the login box's glass border, and one more which is completely logo-free. As with a lot of other shell modifications, installing Reworked requires a little bit of tinkering in your system folder. You'll have to replace the stock Windows authui.dll in Safe Mode to do it -- check the author's instructions on DeviantArt if you need help and make sure you create a backup before making any changes!
Both 32 and 64-bit versions are available for all three styles, and there's also a snazzy Aurora-inspired replacement background should you want to change that as well!

That's pretty cool, not sure why you would go into safemode just to replace a dll file though.
All you have to do is go into the properties dialog, take ownership of the file and then give yourself the permission to edit it. Just a few checkboxes really.
