Legal Notice policy window size

[Guest]

I have implemented Legal notice title and text using local policy. The legal
notice text is to large for the default window size. Anyone know how I can
either A)Increast the legal notice window size or B) add scroll bars. As it
stands now, the user must click in the legal notice window and click drag
down to see the rest of the text.

Thanks,
JB

You might try adding a carriage return and a line feed to simulate pressing
the return key (new paragraph). The text will wrap at the point you enter a
CRLF. Either that, or be less verbose. =)

Try this method...

I don't think the size of the Legal Notice dialogue can be changed. (Do
you really expect people to read it if it's that long?)

You could display the Legal Notice text in a HTML/HTA application run as
a Machine Startup Script, although that doesn't quite enforce the
acknowledgement the same way.

Tried to add the CR/LF method but it did not increase the window size. And
unfortuantely I can not be less verbose as the material presented is legal
material passed down for me to enforce without exception. Gotta love those
lawyers

Can't use HTML/HTA. Must enforce it as directed through either group policy
or registry. And yeah, you're right, we all know they don't read it
everytime, but lawyers gotta have it there for legal reasons in the event
something does come up.

Thanks though,

That's where a Machine Startup Script is indeed specified, be it a .cmd,
..bat, .vbs, .wsh, .wsf, .exe, .htm, .hta or any other type.

I could probably script it out and use hardware policy, but I have two issues
with that. First, if and when I needed to change the script, the approval
process is very significant and probably doesn't justify creating the script
in the first place. Second, now I am just curious as to how to change the
window size as I know there has to be some way to do it )
