Stand-alone server

If you have a stand-alone server, fire up regedit and go the following registry entry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\winlogon\

There you have two String values:

 LegalNoticeCaption
 LegalNoticeText

Edit the LegalNoticeCaption and put a title text like “Warning”.

Edit the LegalNoticeText and put a message like “I have the owner ship!” and save it, and close the Windows® Registry.
