Try downloading a program called winguidws tweak manager and see if that
helps you find where they did it,
It is the sort of thing that program allows one to do.
www.winguides.com/tweaks for a trial version download.

Try turning off the "Messenger" service. This has nothing to do with
Windows Messenger or any other IM's

Start- control panel- admin tools - Services

unfortunately the messenger service is already disabled so it must be
something else, the message appears before i sign in, is there a way that i
can find out what windows applications load during boot up.

Wow - this thread is still going.
If the message is coming up before you logon, this is the Legal Notice
Caption most likely...

Change/delete appropriately.

hi,
thanks for replying but when i click on the link it opens to a warning
message, and says the link is blocked due to many connection errors, the
message itself has been put on and says that "this is my computer" i have no
options but to click ok, would there be some sort of way to delete it through
registry or maybe a .ini file, i seem to be fighting a losing battle so any
help or advice would be muchly appreciated. Thanks

What do you know?! Winguides is broken - that's a first for me.
I'm sure they will fix it soon.. However, I gave you what you needed.

Googling for "Legal Notice Caption in Windows XP" gave me:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315232
and
http://www.wown.com/kbase/WindowsTi...ous/LogonBanner-DisplayingWarningMessage.html
and a lot more.

Use it to edit the appropriate values and get rid of your message..
