Create Your Own Logon Message

[Wizard]

Hi,

I recently made some changes to my computer. What happen
is I created my own logon message, so everytime I start
my computer I see the name I created. Now I want to
changed it back to the way it used to be. Meaning
starting my computer without seeing the logon message.
This is how i did it to create the logong message.

(You can create a message that will appear when you log
on to your computer.1. Click Start, click Run, type
regedit, and then click OK. 2. In the Registry Editor,
drill down to the following key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon 3. Right-click
LegalNoticeCaption, click Modify, type My Windows XP
Machine, and then click OK. 4. Right-click
LegalNoticeText, click Modify, and then type your
message. 5. Close the editor and your new message
will appear at every log on. This tip applies to
computers that are part of a domain. For stand-alone or
peer-to-peer networks, the custom screen appears just
before the Welcome screen.You may need to have an
administrator account on your computer to make changes to
the registry. Incorrectly editing the registry may
severely damage your system. At the very least, you
should back up any valued data on the computer before
making changes to the registry).

The very last warning sentence should give you a clue..

If you 'saved' any part of the Key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
| NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon

You can just restore it to the registry.
