You don't need a C program if you can be sure that Internet Explorer is
installed; a bit of script will do it:
Set oIE= CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")
Do While (oIE.Busy)
Wscript.Sleep 250
Loop
oIE.visible=true
oIE.ToolBar = false
oIE.StatusBar = false
oIE.Resizable = false
oIE.Navigate ("http://website/webpage.htm";)
Do While (oIE.Busy)
Wscript.Sleep 250
Loop
wscript.sleep 5000
oIe.quit
This will put the page up for 5 seconds (wscript.sleep 5000) - adjust
this to whatver you need.

Lo gon Welcome
We had a similar situation in my organization where we when the user
presses
Control+Alt+Del They get the GPO that sets the Legal Notice, but we also
needed the notice to pop up after the user logged in. Our solution was
to use the GPO, plus a small C program that created a window with the
text after the successful login, and timed out after 15 seconds.
I also think Autoprof's tool has the ability to create the text window
once a user log's in as well. No extra coding required.

Hi,
One way of doing it (which is a little dodgey) is to create your own ADM
file which does the registry hack for you. You still can't type in the
<cr><lf> but you can create a default entry with the required <cr><lf>
in place (see beleow). Seems to work OK. You can still edit the text in
the field, you just can't add additional texts

Lo gon Welcome
You may be able to put a couple of "\n\n" escapes in at the end of a
paragraph to create a new one. Never tried it.
Thanks.
