Logon Message

If you want to customize your PC and display something before a user can log in into the system, you can do so by following these steps:
  • Start
  • Run/Regedit
  • HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
  • SOFTWARE
  • Microsoft
  • Windows NT
  • CurrentVersion
  • Winlogon.
  • Value Name: LogonPrompt
    Data Type: REG_
    SZ (String Value)
  • Create a new string value named 'LogonPrompt' and enter the text you want to display. The default message is: 'Enter a user name and password that is valid for this system.' This feature can be used in conjunction with the Legal Notice Dialog Box Before Logon tweak.

Change Icon's Vertical Spacing

Depending on your screen resolution, a certain number of icons fit in each auto-arranged column along the desktop. For example, if your resolution is set to 800 x 600 pixels, 7 icons fit in each column.

Want to get more icons to fit on your desktop without changing your screen resolution? Here's how to adjust your icon spacing:

  • Right-click the desktop, and then click Properties.
  • In the Display Properties dialog box, click the Appearance tab, and then click Advanced.
  • In the Item box, click Icon Spacing (Vertical).
  • Decrease the size, click OK, then click Apply to see the result on screen.
  • When you're happy with the results, click OK.

On our system, going from the default 43 to 39 squeezed 8 icons into each column.
