I was at a friend's office and they have a welcome message
with some legalese and phone #'s on their W2K PC's, this
is before you log in (or after you log out), it is the
first thing you see after W2K finishes loading when
booting the PC. I'd appreciate help on how to create my
own, thanks!

Hey!

Click Start, click Run, type in regedit, press enter.

Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon, modify the value named 'LegalNoticeCaption' to
represent the caption on the dialog box (e.g. 'WARNING!'). If this value
doesn't already exist create it.

Modify the value named 'LegalNoticeText' to represent the body of the dialog
box (e.g. 'Do Not Attempt to Logon to this system unless you are an
authorized user!')

Exit your registry and restart Windows, and the next time you boot up you
should be presented with the dialog box before logging on.

Hope this helps!
