Hello,

I'm trying to add a custom message to the Windows XP Security Screen Title bar.

In Windows 2000, I simply added a text in HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\Welcome REG_SZ entry.

But in Windows XP, this change does not seem to work.

Do any of you guys know what I need to do to make it work in XP?

Thanks in advance =)

Not sure if this is what you mean, but check it out and see if it works

Well, I was trying to customize the title bar, not the screen contents. But thanks for the interesting article... I might apply what you've suggested also.

Thanks again =)

Hmmm,

been searchin but cant find nothing about that...maybe someone else can come around and help?

sorry

What about the logon dialog, are you able to change it.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]
Create a new string value named 'LogonPrompt' and enter the text you want to display.

I have not tried these myself, but could it have something to do with classic logon vs XP welcome logon? I realize you must be using the classic logon or Ctrl + Alt+Delete (twice), NO ?

Bulldog,

Yep, the logonprompt tweak does work i've done it and i dont know whether the XP welcome logon or the classic logon is required but mine is the XP and itworks fine. 

OK, thanks czerdrill. Not sure why this one isn't working for XP Developer then.

Just to verify [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]
Create a new String value,(REG_SZ) called "Welcome" and add whatever text you like for the value data.

Reboot.

Czerdrill & BullDog,

First of all, thanks a lot for providing me w/ hints, etc.

The LogonPrompt worked fine, and I can see the text that I've typed in at the security logon prompt. But I wanted to add a text after "Log on to Windows" title bar message at the logon prompt (I'm using Windows Classics Logon"). Welcome string value worked fine on my Win2K workstation, but the same registry setting will not work on XP.
