Hi people I was looking on the net for my answer but could not find it so signed up to see if any of you nice people on here could help? I have just formated and sorted out my PC with no problems but wanted to know if it is possible and if it is how to put your own message on bootup/startup. I am running windows XP with Sp2 and there are multi users on the PC so i wanted to put a message on the computer for the other people to read before logging on to there account. Is it possible? Thanks for looking and any help given.
I know you can change the boot screen with something like Boot XP but i'm not sure about a message for each user, BUT i may be wrong! If this isn't what your are looking for let us know
You can use a very simple vbsript file and put it into the startup folder of each user. Open notepad, then type this: Code: msgbox ("Your message here"),,"Box header" Then save>as type change to all files>save as scriptname.vbs Obviously replace the text with your own.
Thank you for your replys. All i want is just to change the boot screen to display a message that i write each time the system is started. Sort of like the rubbish hewlet packard but on there systems. you get there logo with out the info from the boot screen (Hope this makes sence). Will try the other things like bootxp and didnt even think of puttin a word document in the start up. Simple but good so thanks for all your help so far.
