Change the Message Shown on the Logon Box (Windows NT/2000/XP) Category: Home > Security > Login and Authentication
You can personalize (or legalize) the message displayed on the logon box above the user name and password.
Open your registry and find the key below.
Create a new string value named 'LogonPrompt' and enter the text you want to display. The default message is: 'Enter a user name and password that is valid for this system.'
This feature can be used in conjunction with the Legal Notice Dialog Box Before Logon tweak.
