If you want to perform some testing without any bodies interference in your test machine which has multiple user access, then you can configure your test machine by user-defined message to the login screen of your test machine.
We can do it easily by
doing some registry changes.
Editing the registry
It is important to
keep in mind that the registry is vital to the operating system and changing it
can be dangerous if you inadvertently make a mistake. Do it if you really need
it.
To launch the Registry
Editor, click the Start button, type regedit in the Start Search box, and press [Enter].
When the UAC dialog box appears, respond appropriately.
Once the Registry
Editor launches, locate the following key:
FIGURE I
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System
From
this key, shown in Figure I, you'll be able to make all the following
changes to the Login screen.
The warning message
The warning message
that you'll add to the Windows 7's login screen is actually made up of two
parts: the title and the message text.
To
add a title to the warning message, locate and double-click the legalnoticecaptionvalue. When the Edit DWORD
dialog box appears, type the title in the Value data text box, as shown in Figure II, and click OK. As you can
see, for my example I chose to use a Welcome message, but you can essentially
type anything that you want for your title. You can use up to 80 characters,
including spaces, for the title.
FIGURE II
The legalnoticecaption value allows you to
specify a title for your warning message.
To
add the warning message, locate and double-click the legalnoticetext value. When the Edit DWORD
dialog box appears, type the warning message in the Value data text box, and click OK.
The new logon display
Now
when you restart your system and access the login screen, you'll see the
warning message, as shown in Figure III. Just click OK and you'll see your user icon
and be able to continue with the login operation.
