Using NT Registry Personalization System

First, change the background pattern at logon

You can change the background pattern that appears on the startup screen when you log on and requires you to sign in with the Ctrl+alt+delete key by following these steps.

(1) Edit the background graphics file, such as C:\DOS\PAPER. BMP;

(2) Execute "Start/Run" command, enter REGEDIT32.EXE in the "Run" dialog box, run Registry Editor (Registry Editor does not appear in any menu because modifying the registry may cause the system to not run);

(3) Locate in Hkey-users\default\control\desktop, double-click the "wallpaper" value name on the right, and enter the name of the graphic file in the string text box that appears in the String Editor dialog box, such as: C:\DOS\ PAPER. BMP;

(4) Double-click the "tilewallpaper" value name on the right and enter a Non-zero value in the string text box, such as: 1.

Second, do not display the last logged-on user name

Press "Ctrl+alt+delete". When you log on, the system displays the last Logged-on user name in the User Name text box, using the following steps to make the system not display this information when you log on.

(1) Run Registry Editor, locate in Hkey-local-machine\software\microsoft\windowsnt\current Version\Winlogon;

(2) Select Add Value from the Edit menu, enter "Dontdisplaylastusrename" in the Value Name text box, and select a data type of reg-sz;

(3) Double-click the name of the value you just added, and set the value to 1.

Third, define the startup window information

Sometimes when the system starts, when the user presses "Ctrl+alt+delete" key to log in, will want the user to see some information, such as displays a window title "You are welcome" window, the window displays "welcome you".

(1) Run Registry Editor, locate in hkey-local-machine\software\microsoft\w owsnt\current Version\Winlogon;

(2) Double-click the "legalnoticecaption" value name on the right, and enter the window title in the String text box: you are welcome;

(3) Double-click the "LegalNoticeText" value name on the right, and in the String text box, enter what you want to display in the window: welcome.

Four, do not log on to shut down the system

The Shut down System button in the Windows NT Workstation4.0 Login window allows the user to shut down the system without logging on, while the Windows NT Server4.0 Login window has the "Shut down system" button, but the button is unavailable (gray). You can use the following steps to make the function of this button available to users.

(1) Run Registry Editor, locate in Hkey-local-machine\software\microsoft\windowsnt\current Version\Winlogon;

(2) Double-click the "ShutdownWithoutLogon" value name on the right to change its value from 0 to 1.

Five, automatic login

In Windows NT, the ability to automatically log on to a domain with a user name without manually entering a username and password is possible.

(1) Run Registry Editor, locate in Hkey-local-machine\software\microsoft\windowsnt\current Version\Winlogon;

(2) Select Add Value from the Edit menu, enter "AutoAdminLogon" in the Value Name text box, and select a data type of reg-sz;

(3) Double-click the name of the value you just added, and set the value to 1;

(4) Double-click the "defaultdominname" value name, in the "string" text box, enter the domain name to log in, such as: doadmin;

(5) Double-click the "DefaultUserName" Value name, and in the String text box, enter the user you want to log into this domain, such as: ADMINISTRATOR;

(6) Select Add Value from the Edit menu, enter "DefaultPassword" in the Value Name text box, and select a data type of reg-sz;

(7) Double-click the name of the value you just added, and enter the user's login password in the string text box.

The next time you log on, if you hold down the SHIFT key, you will see a dialog box that enters the username and password, or the system automatically logs in as this user name. If you want to cancel the automatic logon feature, set the AutoAdminLogon key value to 0 as long as you are still positioned here. After you modify the registry, you typically log off and log back on before you can work.
