Enable / Disable Legal Notice Dialog Box Before Logon

Today, I was helping my brother computer which was having "Legal Notice Dialog Box " before he can log on to his window 7. It was very annoying message displaying on the screen and there was only a OK button to proceed to log on window..
I did a research on the net and found out a registry tips and solved the problem.
The solution was:

Disable Legal Notice Dialog Box Before Logon
  • Start -> Run -> Regedit
  • HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
  •  delete two registery entry "LegalNoticeCaption" and "LegalNoticeText"
  • Exit Registry Editor and Restart Computer


It's also useful when you are required by law to warn warn people that it is illegal to attempt to logon without being an authorized user. To do so, create a dialog box that will be presented to any user before logging onto the system.

Enable Legal Notice Dialog Box Before Logon

->  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon

->  Modify the value named ‘LegalNoticeCaption’ to represent the caption on the dialog box
     (e.g. ‘WARNING!’). If this value doesn’t already exist create it. 

->  Modify the value named ‘LegalNoticeText’ to represent the body of the dialog box
     (e.g. ‘Do Not Attempt to Logon to this system unless you are an authorized user!’) 

->  Exit registry editor and restart Windows, 
->  and the next time you boot up you should be presented with the dialog box before   logging on.

Registry Settings
Value Name: LegalNoticeCaption, LegalNoticeText
Data Type   : REG_SZ (String Value)
