Display Legal Notice on Startup of your Windows

Submitted by on Thursday, 29 October 200929 Comments

legal_noticesIf your PC has multiple users then you can now display legal notice to every user before they login to your PC. This legal notice will be displayed at every startup just before the Desktop is loaded. Using this you can tell your friends about the do’s and dont’s in your computer when they login in your absence. Well you can do this pretty easily. For this there is one small registry hack. Here is the step-by-step instruction to do this.

1. Go to Start->Run, type regedit and hit ENTER

2. Navigate to the following key in the registry

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

On the right side pane look for “legalnoticecaption“, double click on it and enter the desired Legal Notice Caption.

3. Next below this look for “legalnoticetext” and enter the desired Legal Notice Text. The legal notice text can be up to a page in it’s size so that it can include a set of do’s and dont’s for your computer.

4. After you do this just restart your computer and upon the next startup you can see the legal notice information for your computer. This trick works on both XP and Vista. You can also try it on Windows 7 and should work with no problems.

    To disable this procedure all you have to do is just delete the text that you have typed in step 2 and 3.

  • vijai said:

    REALLY SUPER TELL ME MORE INFORMATION……

  • Srikanth (author) said:

    @ Rohan

    Make sure that your have admin access. If you are still not able to open regedit then it means that your comp has some virus infection.

  • Bun Leap said:

    It’s great.
    Thanks!
    But it’s a box. Can it be just a text?
    For example, Kaspersky Internet Security 7.0!

  • evilparada said:

    tq for this trick..i like it.

  • BROTHER said:

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

    i can’t find policies…

  • TR said:

    Didn’t work on Windows Pro 7 either 32 or 64 bit. It does work from editing the local policy on the machine. When I edit the policy the legal notice appears as soon as I log off. No need to reboot. It would be nice if the registry hack worked becaue it is easier to script registry changes than policy changes.

  • Pragyan said:

    thanks for the wonderful stuff.I reversed the process and disabled it, but next time i went to redo it, I did not find the “legalnoticetext” option. Please help.

  • Srikanth (author) said:

    @ Pragyan

    Just re-create the “legalnoticetext” key. Thats it.

  • Atul Upadhyay said:
