Here's how to display a message of your choice when you start Windows XP. He will appear before the startup screen of Windows, the choice of the user. This manipulation will allow you to customize your computer but why not, get a note or a deposit to others in case of use of a multi-user. We also offer a script that will allow you to create your message very simply start without having to intervene in the registry.


To display a custom message when you start Windows XP, please make the following handling:

Open Regedit (Start, Run and then type regedit ...)

Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE\ Microsoft\ Windows NT \ CurrentVersion \ Winlogon

Change the value chain LegalNoticeCaption by double-clicking it and give it value as the title of your message.

Change the value chain LegalNoticeText by double-clicking it and give it value as the content of your message.

At the next time you start Windows, a window will appear with your message. Note that the startup will be halted until you click the OK button of the window.
