Create Your Own Logon Message
To insert a custom message when you or someone on your network logs onto your computer, follow these steps:
- Click on the Start button then select Run.
- Type in 'regedit' and press OK. Look for the follow key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
- Right-click on 'LegalNoticeCaption', select 'Modify' and type in the Caption you'd like to appear
- Right-click on 'LegalNoticeText', select 'Modify' and type in the message you want to appear
- Close regedit and reboot your computer
Your new message will appear at every logon (if you're on a domain) or right before the Welcome screen (for stand-alone computers).
