Customizing the Welcome to Windows box

[Guest]

All:

Is there a way to customize the "Welcome to Windows" box that comes up
FIRST, telling the user to press <ctrl-alt-del> to begin? This would be a XP
pro SP2 workstation in a 2003 domain environment. I have a custome JPG that I
would like to display instead of the default "Welcome to Windows" box.

I've seen this done with a 2000/XP Pro SP2 workstations w/ a Novell client
using a Novell server without a Windows Domain.

Hi,

I use this proggy, very easy and it works. I have only tested it on WinXP
Pro with SP1 but it should work.

Great idea. I tried it and it only works if the PC is removed from the
Domain. Once the system is on (a member) of a Domain it's useless. Thus will
not work in my environment. thanks for the feedback.

I have yet to find a way to skin that part of the GUI... Hopefully some
program will be developed that will allow you to do that.
