hi,

is it possible for me to change the error message when a user logs on incorrectly?

for example if a user enters a valid user name but enters the wrong password the error message displays that an "Incorrect Password" has been entered.

i want to change this to only say "Invalid Logon". and not tell the user which part of the log-on information he got wrong.

thanks.

fred

I think that text could be in some dll file, perhaps in msgina.dll located in windows system32 directory. So you can either progam a customized msgina.dll with instructions from Microsoft developer site. Alternatively you can use for example Resource Hacker to edit copy of current version and install modified copy.
