Backup the file %windir%\system32\ntoskrnl.exe that represent your new logon file
Extract ntoskrnl.exe to a directory other than %windir%\system32 Reboot your computer into Safe Mode (hit F8 before the boot screen) or into true DOS (from a boot disk)
Overwrite the file %windir%\system32\ntoskrnl.exe (which should have been backed up) with the extracted exe
Reboot your computer as you normally would
