Display a message on startup in Windows XP
   This tutorial will show you how to display a message on your computer before Windows XP loads. Very useful when the owner of the computer wants to define some rules for using the system that an user must read before.


1. Go to Start->Run
2. On the Run window type regedit and press Enter.
3. Navigate to the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon.
4. Modify the key legalnoticecaption and write the name of the window you want to appear.
5. Modify the key legalnoticetext with what you want the window to say.

Restart your computer.

Now when your computer starts a window with the name and text defined by you will appear on the screen before Windows XP is loaded.
