Press Cntrl+alt+del to login

[_Daniel Sullivan]

Hello~

I wanted to know if there was any way to change the prompt at Windows 2000
Login that says "press cntrl-alt-delete" to login.. I found out ways to
change the login images as well as some other form headings and prompts, but
the way to change the cntrl-alt-delete message continues to elude me.
Basically, I need this because this is a pcANYWHERE terminal, and pcANYWHERE
has a button that the user clicks on to send cntrl+alt+delete to the host.
Basically, I have the image changed to a partial screenshot with an arrow
pointing to the button, but the text at the bottom of the form is still
saying to press cntrl+alt+delete. Is there any way I can change this text to
something else? I know that I can change the group policy to not require
the user to have to press cntrl+alt+delete to login, but I would prefer not
to do this if possible. Thanks in advance.

That functionality is supported by msgina.dll which is called by a registry
entry. You will have to code a new .dll file and replace our gina file.
