Disable the "Windows is starting up" etc. dialogs

Is it possible to disable the dialogs that say "Windows is starting
up",
"Loading your personal settings", "Logging off", "Saving your
settings",
and "Windows is shutting down" ?

I am making a kiosk for public display using WEPOS (a version of XP
Embedded + SP2) and would like it to display as few pop-up windows
as possible (ideally none).

So far I have managed to modify the startup background and set it
to auto-logon and run my application, but I have not been able to
suppress the "Windows is starting up" etc. dialogs.

Are there any webpages that focus on streamlining the boot and
shutdown process for public-use terminals ? I would have thought
it would be a fairly common request.

hi to supress the "Windows is starting up" , you need to set the
follwoing registry key:

[HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Currentversion\policies\system]
"DisableStatusMessages" set a dword value to "1" and reboot.

it works for XP Embedded but I am not sure about WEPOS.

best regards.
 
Does that make it go blank?
