Custom Logon Text in Windows XP
erich January 26th, 2006
We recently changed domains at work, and with over four hundred public machines on campus, I was looking for a way to remind the users to use the new domain, to reduce confusion. There are two parts to this - changing the logon dialog box title, and adding custom text.
To change the text, fire up regedit and navigate to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\ CurrentVersion\Winlogon
Create a new string value called “LogonPrompt”, double-click on it and enter the text you want to display.
To change the dialog title, create a new string value called “Welcome”, double-click on it and enter the text you want to appear in the title bar of the Windows logon dialog box.
