Creating Message Boxes

[DanielWalters6]

How can you create message boxes?

By message box, I mean; when multiple users are logged into XP, you can
right-click on their name and send them a message. Logging back into or
resuming their account displays a very neat, simple message box with an OK
button.

Can I "send" a message to a user when they are not logged in?

And can I make on appear every time this person logs in? (By adding the
message into their startup folder?)

Thankyou for any help you can give me, in advance.

Daniel

Add Message above User Name and Password (Line 110)

Add Notice Dialog Box (Caption and Text) to Logon Screen (Line 110)

To use the VBS Files: Download .vbs file and save it to your hard drive (you
may want to right click and use Save Target As). Double
click the vbs file. You will be prompted when the script is done.

NOTE: If your anti-virus software warns you of a "malicious" script, this is
normal if you have "Script Safe" or similar technology enabled. These
scripts are not malicious, but they do make changes to the System Registry.

Manually:

Go to Start/Run/gpedit.msc Local Computer Policy/Computer
Configuration/Windows Settings/Security Settings/Local Policies/Security
Options. Scroll down to Interactive logon: Message text for users
attempting to log on and Interactive logon: Message title for users
attempting to log on.

I'm really sorry but it wasn't quite what I was looking for.

I am able to create a Log on message that's displayed before pressing ctrl
alt del.

maybe I didn't explain it as well as I should have done;

At the moment, I have a "public" account on my computer. This Public account
is used very frequently to allow other people access to the internet etc on
my computer. (As the users are different, I don't feel it neccary to keep
creating new accounts for them).

I currently have a text document which I have added to the public account's
startup folder.

This notepad file is quick to load, and basically says

"Welcome to the Public Account"

I also use this space for writing stuff such as

"I'm sorry, but I've had to pause all printing because I've ran out of ink"

(You get the picture)

I was wondering if there was a way (At my College they are able to do this,
obviously using a much greater operating system tho) that a Dialog box to
appear in the same way, as if added to the startup folder.

I am able to achieve a similar result by logging in as an administrator,
whilst others are logged in, loading up the task manager, looking on the
USERS tab, right clicking on them, then SEND MESSAGE....

But for this to happen, they HAVE to be logged in.

Probably confusing, but if you try the right-clicking on the user then log
back into the account you've sent a message to you will see the result that I
am looking for.

thankyou for all your previous help, I did use the adding text above the
Username and password fields. That worked brilliantly

Best of luck understanding what I've written
