Title: RE: Splash screens and wallpaper

There are a bunch of freeware utils that seem to work quite nicely for getting rid of any and all pop-up ad banners.  I like pop-up stopper the best.  Does exactly what it professes, and is easy to circumvent if needed, just hold down Ctrl key or double-click on it.  Haven't found any Microsoft info that will allow the same thing.  Check out http://download.cnet.com/downloads/1,10150,0-10000-103-0-1-7,00.html?tag=srch&qt=popup+stopper&cn=&ca=10000 (link may be wrapped).

Splash screens are definately a pain.  In Windows 2K server  you can define a Group Policy Object (GPO) that can add the box in when a person hits crtl-alt-del.  Does anyone know how to disable mutlitple pop up browers you get when going to particular websites?  They are used for advertisements and there seems to be no setting in IE or Netscape that I can find to disable them.

Depending on Dan's definition of "splash screen" that could also be done via group policy.  You can define "Message text for users attempting to logon".  That will throw up a text screen after the user hits ctrl-alt-del.  They have to "ok" the screen before getting the credentials box.

not sure about the splash screen.  Wallpaper can done with policies.

I have been asked to do two things.

1.      Present a splash screen that everyone will see for 5 or 10 seconds
during the logon or boot.

2.      Change everyone's desktop wallpaper to some uniform graphic.

I am looking for suggestions and would appreciate any help.  I have
previously created mandatory wallpaper using the registry editor and logon
scripts. 

Thanks,

Dan Munley
