how to replace windows system logon dialog box (All)

[charie]

I would like to know how can I replace the standard Windows 95 /98/NT/2000 logon dialog box by my own application dialogbox?
then, I'm looking for more information about custom GINA DLL development and sample code.


Thanks

regards,
charie

Not to sure about actually replacting the log in box with your own application, I would recommend just making an application that runs as a system service. Otherwise, you can edit the log in box using Resource Hacker.

I don't know if you CAN replace msgina.dll with another dll file.
Have you thought of just replacing the login dialog in msgina.dll with a dialog of your own or at least editing the dialog. Which Windows OS are you running?

thanks for ur reponse theelf.

Do u mean just replacing the login dialog "function" in msgina.dll? my windows OS is 2000. Do u have any idea about ginastub? if in my HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\CurrentVersi on\Winlogon, there is no msgina.dll but got one default and the value data not set. is that a msgina.dll?

No msgina.dll. I don't use Win2k too much, mostly Linux and when I use Windoz I use 98. Wish I had an answer about that. I'll try and find out what I can.

Here is a link to a site thats all about modifing the appearance of all Windows OS. Hopefully you can get an answer there. I belive you need to register to be able to post. Msgina.dll is not used in Win9x but should be present in 2K and most likley NT and XP
