Question about 'Get Rid of the Logon Screen'

I have a question about Get Rid of the Logon Screen:

I'm running Windows XP SP1 and Group Policy is set to pop-up a warning after Ctrl+Alt+Del is pressed when you logon (i.e. the legal notice window). This message window requires you to click OK or press Enter before you are prompted to enter your logon name and password. The auto logon does the "Ctrl+Alt+Del", but does not clear this message and you have to manually click OK or press Enter and then auto logon will continue to logon. Does anyone know if there is a registry entry or another trick that will clear this window without user intervention? Thank you.

Open regedit, delete the string values in the two keys:
* LegalNoticeCaption
** LegalNoticeText
in HKLM\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\WinLogon

Make sure you aren't running a script which re-writes the registry values!

ALSO - - -

in 

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies\system

you'll find these two keys:

   legalnoticecaption
   legalnoticetext

Delete the string values (if any exist) in those two settings.

I also found an entry: HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System That has the two lines, however if there's a change to the GPO, these can be written back. Creating a DWORD Named: DisableCAD (control alt delete) with a value of 1 will stop the control alt screen from appearing, proceeding with the autologin, and launching your program/server automatically.

What if there is a script that re-writes the registry values?

Here's a Batch to do the above... Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon] "LegalNoticeCaption"="" "LegalNoticeText"="" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies\system] "LegalNoticeCaption"="" "LegalNoticeText"="" "DisableCAD"=dword:00000001 Then you could install TweakUI on the windows xp machine. Login with a Service account you create. This is just an account that has a password that never expires. Use tweak UI to auto login. Then throw the above bat file and this this one. @echo off rundll32.exe user32.dll, LockWorkStation cls in the starup folder. Tweak ui will login automatically, then the above script will run to fix your registry entries if they change and then the other small bat file will lock the machine. John Bivens
