Recently a reader asked me how to get rid of the dialog box that pops up at
logon, which was a leftover from when he used his computer at work. This message
does not appear by default but an administrator can apply it. If you have an
administrator account, you can also get rid of it, but you'll have to edit the
registry to do so. Here's how:
- Open your registry editor.
- In the left pane, navigate to the following key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Windows NT \ CurrentVersion \ Winlogon
- In the right pane, double click the item LegalNoticeCaption
- Set the data value to 0
- In the right pane, double click the item LegalNoticeText
- Set the data value to 0
- Close the registry editor
As always, exercise care when editing the registry. Note that if you reconnect
to your work network and the warning was enabled through Group Policy, it will
probably be reapplied.
