We as administrators need tools. That is just a fact of life, and that is one of the reasons I just released Bauer-Puntu Linux 9.10R2.
I always have a copy of it on my USB stick, so I figured why not add some tools. One of them being a Windows password reset tool! Using this tool [...]

If you’re like me, you use your Windows-based computer almost every day. The startup and shutdown sounds have just gotten a little boring to be honest. Here are some simple steps to use your favorite voice, music excerpt, or sound for your computer’s start-up and shutdown sequence. [...]

Maybe a login background? Or have the image pop up using a gpo?

I didn't think about a login background. That's a good idea. Thanks

I think best practice is to do this through the local policy snap-in rather than edit the registry. Run secpol.msc – and go to local policies, security options, and its about halfway down, under interactive logon

You can also use group policy as long as you aren't using a 'home' version Windows OS. Start -> Run. Type 'gpedit.msc' Computer Configuration -> Windows Settings -> Security Settings -> Local Policies -> Security Options. You should see two fields here: Interactive Logon: Message text for users attempting to logon Interactive Logon: Message title for users attempting to logon

Use caution if you use RDP to connect to a box that has a pop-up like this. You won’t be able to access the system and it can be very frustrating to track down the cause.
