Create a logon banner

Even though this trick has been known by everyone, I am posting this here for the newcomers.

This trick can be used to display certain rules and regulations when logging into a system. Useful in computers in an institute etc.


Steps:

1. Open Notepad.
2. Copy and paste the following into the Notepad. The items given in red color is to be filled by you.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]
”LegalNoticeCaption”=”Write the window title here, like License etc.”
”LegalNoticeText”=”Write the window content here, like the description of the license etc.”

3. Save the file and close Notepad.

4. Change the extension of file from .txt (text file) to .reg (registry file).
5. Double click open the file, click Yes and then click OK.

You are done. Restart the system to see the change.
