how to do it(i asume u hav windows directory in C drive):-

b>go to bitmap->1->1033 .This bitmap is the background of the boot screen)
c>click action menu-> click replace bitmap and choose the background of ur choice

Just a word of caution,

i could not boot my PC into Safe Mode when i used LogonStudio.

If you have ever used Safe Mode, then i suggest you check the safe mode when the computer is working all fine before the need arises!
