Legal Notice box blocking automatic logon

[Marc Brenowitz]

For a project at work, I've set up a Windows 2000
workstation to automatically reboot and logon. I used
Task Scheduler to run a VB script to perform the reboot.
I set up the registry key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHIN\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersi
on\Winlogon\AutoAdminLogon to a value of 1. This means
after the reboot the logon name and password fields are
automatically populated.
The problem is that there is a Legal Notice dialogue box
that appears after ctrl-alt-del, but before the Logon to
Windows dialogue box. However, the registry keys that
should be populated in order to create the Legal Notice
box, LegalNoticeText and LegalNoticeCaption, are blank.
The Legal Notice box requires a key press of enter in
order to go to the Logon to Windows box. Once enter is
pushed at Legal Notice, the system automatically logs on.
Is there any way using Group Policy to go around the Legal
Notice box, or to treat it as having Enter pushed?
I have tried used a VB script with the SendText command to
send Enter, and launching it through Group Policy,
startup, but that hasn't worked. I am not proficient at
VBS, but I was able to find some scripts and commands to
use for this project.
Thanks,
Marc

Not sure, as I only have admin rights on the local
machine, not domain admin rights. There isn't anything
local, though.
