(I know that I have posted about thsi before, but it seems new posts get more readers)
How do you make a pop up like the one that appears when you start safe mode? I would like it to appear just as the Safemode one does, but have my own text instead. Any ideas?

Are you talking of the legal notice text?
If so. You have 2 options. The 2nd reg entry appears to take preference over the 1st.

Caption gives the title.
Both are string values.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
LegalNoticeCaption
LegalNoticeText

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies\system
legalnoticecaption
legalnoticetext

If your just sending a message using batch you could try:


msg 0 <message>

If you optionally want to run a program try nircmd it can do many things, the commands you may be interested in are infobox, qbox and qboxcom.

If you make the script a startup item it would be seen every time after login.

I'm sure one of the vb people will give more options......

Thank's for the replies!
I'm talking about the box that pops up when you start safe mode, after you clikc the username. The one that says "Safe Mode is use tho recover your computer... Continue? Yes/No" I want to do something like that. I know basic batch commands, but if I use a batch file, I would like for it to appear right after you click the username, before the desktop appears. I don't know how to do this other than putting it in the startup folder, but that is too late...
I couldn't find nircmd on that site, I will give it a shot. Could you just post the download link?

That site is basically a copy of the help file for nircmd, the download link is right at the bottom.

I'm not sure how to get a popup to start before the desktop loads..........

I can't get NirCmd to work. I have tried several things to get it to work but nothing will work. Any other ideas? I may try making the script a service. How do I do that?
