You can delete the "Windows 7 Ultimate" branding by going to "Windows/Branding/ShellBRD/ShellBRD.DLL" and removing all the bitmaps from this file. Sorry for the multiple posts, it just occured to me that maybe I could save someone the hassle of all the hunting I've had to do to customize this screen

BTW, the ease of access component is also located in these three files, it also really bugged me on the logon screen

In order to remove the user picture tile completely, you must edit the xml in the file authui.dll > UIFILE > 12400, 12401, 12402. Basically you have to delete any picture components in these three file, that should remove them entirely from the logon screen... be careful with this, I wouldn't recommend trying it unless you have a dual boot setup as you can really screw up the operation of your OS. I have been really glad to boot to vista and fix all this stuff on more than one occasion.
