Quick overview:
It is very easy to display your own welcome message. For example, you can display a kind of to-do list or important appointments. To create such a message, proceed as follows:
1. Click one after the other on Start > Execute and type it into the command line regedit in. A program will appear that will remind you very much of the conventional Windows Explorer. Double-click to navigate through the various keys of the Windows registration.
2. Go to the key one after the other HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT \CurrentVersion\. Now click once on Winlogon. Several values appear in the right-hand pane. However, only LegalNoticeCaption and LegalNoticeText interesting for us.
3. If you double-click on the first option mentioned, a small window opens in which you can define the heading for your message. With LegalNoticeText you can create your message.
4. Close the registration editor and restart your computer. Immediately after logging in, the message will appear on the screen, which you can then confirm with OK when you have finished reading them. Only now does the Windows desktop appear.
