How to get rid of extra start up screen

[Guest]

Hello

I posted on this board last weekend...and I want to thank everybody who help me solve some problems. The solutions did work

My question today is that is recently bought a used business computer with Windows 2000 on it. Because this was once a corporate machine...after you put in your user name and password...a screen comes on telling me that this is a corporate machine...and to abide by the rules and regs of the corporation. When I click OK...then Windows 2000 finishes loading

My question...how can I get rid of that corporate screen info that comes on after I log onto Windows 2000. As usual...thanks in advance

Hello,

I posted on this board last weekend...and I want to thank everybody who

help me solve some problems. The solutions did work!

My question today is that is recently bought a used business computer with

Windows 2000 on it. Because this was once a corporate machine...after you
put in your user name and password...a screen comes on telling me that this
is a corporate machine...and to abide by the rules and regs of the
corporation. When I click OK...then Windows 2000 finishes loading.

My question...how can I get rid of that corporate screen info that comes

on after I log onto Windows 2000. As usual...thanks in advance!

Since you're saying it's starting up after logging into W2K, it's sounds
like a simple matter of changing your background.

Start->Settings->Control Panel->Display
Tab to background
Select (None)
Click 'Ok'

Thanks for the quick reply

No...this is not a background thing...this is a screen that the former company who I bought this machine from had come up telling about their rules and reg of this computer after you logged on. I then clicked "OK" on this screen...this screen then goes away...and the computer continues to a normal startup

Anymore help out there would be greatly appreciated

Thanks

Maybe it's a startup script.

- Run group policy editor (gpedit.msc).
- Look under the Local Computer Policy -> Computer Configuration ->
Windows Settings -> Scripts node.

(That's under Windows XP. Might be a bit different under Windows 2000.)

I agree with Vanguard, probably a script. I visit many companies, and I've seen company do this
I asked about it once, they said a server login script. (doesn't make sense now, you got the computer not the server!

I take it back, might be a script on the local machine, but that means they to load that on every machine set on the network (speaking of the company that had the machine before you). Also users could change and/or stop the warning (unless they really lock down the users as well). Where was that place?

Good luck to ya..

This is a group policy. Mine is set under User Configuration/Administrative Templates/Control Panel/Display. Since it's tied to my user account, I would edit my user settings under HKU/my sid/sofware/policies/microsoft/windows/control panel/desktop. I would just delete the desktop key, reboot and the banner should be gone.

Hey Katie,

If that doesnt do it, check in the registry (start, run, regedt32), navigate
to HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon, and delete
the 2 values named LegalNoticeCaption and LegalNoticeText.

It is simply the popup box that you can configure on a domain for all the
sods that log on. poledit.exe can be used to remove this, or, alternatively,
find the reg key and set it to 0 instead of 1 to present the message (can't
rem the key).
