"Windows NT", "CurrentVersion" then
"WinLogon".
On the right hand panel find "LegalNoticeCaption",
double click on it and add the title text that you wish to
use, i.e. "WARNING" or "HELLO" or what
ever you want. Click on OK to confirm.
Next double click on "LegalNoticeText"

from my computer" or "Welcome to my
computer" or what ever you want. Click on OK to
confirm.
When you reboot a message screen will
appear before the login screen with your message. You can
put quite allot of text in the message.
