Download Resource Hacker.

Create a copy of C:\windows\system32\msgina.dll and open the copied msgina.dll with Resource Hacker.
Figure out what bitmaps you want to change under the "Bitmap" section. Right click the green flower symbol and save the bitmap. Edit in Photoshop and then replace the existing one with the new one.

In the "Dialog" section edit the "1400" entry, mine looks like this:

Code:

1400 DIALOGEX 8, 31, 274, 126
STYLE DS_FIXEDSYS | DS_MODALFRAME | WS_POPUP | WS_VISIBLE | WS_CAPTION
CAPTION "Configuring computer..."
LANGUAGE LANG_ENGLISH, SUBLANG_ENGLISH_US
FONT 8, "MS Shell Dlg"
{
   CONTROL "This computer is beeing configured, please stand by...", 2420, STATIC, SS_LEFT | WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | WS_GROUP, 7, 98, 225, 16 
   CONTROL "Computer Locked", 2419, BUTTON, BS_GROUPBOX | WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE, 0, 0, 273, 68 
   CONTROL "This computer is in use and has been locked.", 1752, STATIC, SS_LEFT | WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | WS_GROUP, 37, 7, 230, 8 
   CONTROL "Text", 1902, STATIC, SS_LEFT | WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | WS_GROUP, 37, 21, 230, 26 
   CONTROL 115, 2403, STATIC, SS_ICON | WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE, 7, 5, 20, 20 
}

To change the ginadll in windows edit this value HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\Ginadll = yourgina.dll

I do this with cmdlines.txt, this way the computer has the "Configuring computer Gina" right after the minisetup is finished.

To remove the modified ginadll I remove the value HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\Ginadll and reboot the machine. When it's rebooted the normal login window is back.
