windows login

[chet]

Hi, is there a way to edit the registry so that when you hit cancel on the windows logon, when you first start your computer, it won't open windows98? So that the only way to start windows is to type in the right username and pwd?

Thank you,

Yes there is! Add this registry key, make it a DWORD and give it a value of 1.
HKLM\Network\Logon\MustBeValidated

To go along with this you can also add;
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Win logon
add string value;
LegalNoticeCaption
and
LegalNoticeText
Whatever you type between the "quotes" will show before the user gets a chance to login.
One is for what is printed on the Windows Box and the other is what is printed within the box.
