Login Screen

[Joe]

Hi All - anyway to modify the login screen itself to include a disclaimer?

 

[John John]

You can have a text box with the disclaimer appear before the logon
screen, the user will have to click on an "OK" button for the box to
disappear and for the Windows Logon box to appear.

The disclaimer (Value data) can be added at the "LegalNoticeCaption" or
the "LegalNoticeText" value at:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon

To otherwise add the disclaimer directly to the Windows Logon screen
requires hacking Windows files.

Thanks, I've seen that, but the powers to be do not want users to have to
"make that extra mouse click". I'm looking to modify the logon box itself,
which I am 99.99% sure is not possible.

Actually it is possible, I erred in my earlier post. Add the string value:

LogonPrompt

at the Winlogon key and enter the Value data you want for the message.
Sorry for the incorrect information in my earlier post.
