Customize the Windows logon and security dialog title

This setting lets you add text to the title of the standard Windows Logon and Windows Security dialog boxes.

Tweak for : Windows XP, Windows 2000

Description:

This setting allows you to add additional text to the title of the standard Windows Logon and Windows Security dialog boxes. Window Caption will be displayed besides the original caption of the login window.

Normally, no message is displayed on the logon box. You can enter the message after this setting is completed and it will be displayed above username and password at the login time.

For this, go to Start > Run menu, enter “regedit” and navigate to the registry path listed below. Now, create a string data name “Welcome”, if not existing, in the right panel. Right-click it and enter the message you want to display like “Write Caption”.

If you want to get back to the original state, then delete the subkey “Winlogon”.

After restart or logoff, changes take effect.
