Enable Windows Logon Welcome or Warning Message
Jan 2nd
This article describes how to add a Warning or a Welcome message to be displayed when a user logs on to the computer.
Important This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you follow these steps carefully. For added protection, back up the registry before you modify it. Then, you can restore the registry if a problem occurs.
To enable display of a warning message, make the following changes in the registry:
- Start Registry Editor (Regedit).
- Locate the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE subtree, and then go to the following key:
SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
- Add or modify the following values:
Name Data Type Value ----------------------------------------------- LegalNoticeCaption REG_SZ Dialog Caption LegalNoticeText REG_SZ Dialog Message
For example, the “LegalNoticeCaption” can be “Important Notice:” and the “LegalNoticeText” can be “No unauthorized access is allowed”.
The user sees this dialog box after the user presses CTRL+ALT+DEL and before the user sees the logon dialog box. The user can click OK in the message box and log on normally. Quit Registry Editor.
This works for
Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition & Microsoft Windows XP Professional
For Microsoft Windows 98, Microsoft Windows ME, Microsoft Windows NT, Microsoft Windows 2000 try http://www.saxonindia.net/software/enable-windows-logon-welcome-or-warning-message-in-windows-982000/
Hidden Files and Folders not appearing
Dec 25th
Changing the option “Hidden Files and Folders” does not have any effect and the hidden files or folders are not displayed in Windows Explorer.
This could be due to a Malware / Virus which could have been disinfected by your antivirus but the modifications made to the registry will not be corrected.
To rectify the problem :
1. Open Regedit. (Start > Run > regedit)
2. Navigate to the “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\
Explorer\Advanced\Folder\Hidden\SHOWALL” pane on the left hand side.
3. In the right pane, right click on “CheckedValue” and select “Delete” to delete the value.
4. Now Right Click on the blank space on the right pane and select “New > DWORD”. Name the value to “CheckedValue“. Double click on “CheckedValue” and modify the “Value Data” to “1“.
Now the “Hidden Files and Folders” feature will work correctly.
Windows XP SP3 and Microsoft HD Audio UAA Problems
Aug 6th
Audio in fully working PC with XP – SP2 stopped working after the automatic update of SP3.
PC was with a Core 2 Duo with Intel Motherboard DG31PR with onboard realtek audio.
Reinstalling Universal Audio Architecture (UAA) High Definition Audio class driver version 1.0a available for Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, and Windows 2000 – KB888111 or the realtek driver from the CD work.
The workaround was as :
- Edit the registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Windows
- Find the CSDVersion.
It will be 100 (hex) for Service Pack 1
It will be 200 (hex) for Service Pack 2
It will be 300 (hex) for Service Pack 3 - Change the CSDVersion key from 300 to 200 and reboot the PC.
Now the System Properties will show as Service Pack 2 - Install the Realtek Drivers from the CD
- If it fails install the kb888111 (Microsoft UAA Patch) from Microsoft. Then install the drivers. Test the Audio.
- Finally change the CSDVersion back to 300.
- Restart.
