Change password about to expire message to read different??????
- Thread starter gears429
- Start date
Do you mean you want to change when this comes up or you want to change the wording?
You can change when you get this warning with a registry hack:
Location: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogin
Key: PasswordExpiryWarning
Value Type: REG_DWORD
Value: Set to the number of days you want to start the expiration warnings at. Recommend: 3 – 7 days
If you want to change the actual wording, then do not know. If you find out, let us know.
Hope this helps.
