Dear Techies,

Can anyone tell me is there any option in W2K to prompt the user with a set
of questions and allow him to login only if he/she answers that?

Any help/pointers in this regard is appreciated.

Thanks in advance
Sri

no built in option but something could be placed in the startup folder
or a logon script I guess.
 
What do you want to happen if they do not answer the questions correctly?
Will the answers need to be masked?
 
here is a batch file that you can use. keep in mind that this is all in plain
text and that any answers to the questions can be found by just editing the
batch file. just place this batch file in a directory of your choice. its
setup right now to work from c:\ just change this registry key to
start[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon] Shell=explorer.exe
make the shell="c:\questions.bat"
