Is there a way to change this anywhere? I really find it annoying. NO I
DIDN'T FORGET IT, I JUST TYPED IT WRONG BY MISTAKE!!!! I really can't stand
things like that. I'd rather it just pop up a message saying "wrong
password".That's all it needs to do. It's like the automated phone systems
that try to sound too much like there's a real person on the other end. Too
condescending for my taste. So anyway, if there's a way to change the
message, I'd love to know about it. :-) Thanks, -keith

Get a hex editor. Locate the text in the program. Modify the message,
being certain to keep the LENGTH of the characters exactly the SAME.
e.g. pad with spaces if necessary. Length must not change. Save it.
It may appear more than once in the file.

There's no other way to do it unless you are a programmer.

THat's what I figured. Here's an easier way and it actually suits me better
anywho:

[Start] [Run] [Regedit]
Registry Key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\
CurrentVersion\Winlogon
Data Type: REG_DWORD [Dword Value] / Value Name: LogonType
Value Data: [0 - Classic Mode / 1 - Welcome Screen]
Modify/Create the Value Name [LogonType] according to the Value Data listed
above.
Exit Registry and Reboot
 
I'll agree with the Xanax post.
