Re: Windows Login Box

You will have to use a resource hacking tool and make these changes in the msgina.dll to do that. The modified gina will then have to be installed on all the computers and the proper GinaDLL (if renamed, which would be strongly recommended) will have to be specified at the registry's Winlogon key.

Without hacking the msgina you can add explanatory text to the logon box by way of the LogonPrompt value at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon

That it the intent. This is for a school and each student needs a
profile that will stay with them from K-8. Our state requires the
student to know their phone number prior to entry into Kindergarten as
many do, I don't want to confuse the kids too much by them seeing a
username box or the like. Children forget things like, username means
phone number. Beside the password area I would like to say, "Last
Name/Password" so older kids can log into the same machines and can
use passwords once they get to 2nd or 3rd grade. I just want the
descriptions of the boxes to change, nothing major along the lines of
Windows functionality. This would just make it whole lot easier than
trying to explain it to the students all the time what to enter
where. If possible to make it images, rather than the word phone
number I would like to use a telephone image.
