Customizing WinLogon . How?


Question

Hi all. I need to customize the win log on dialog box to support another button.

Basically when you press ctrl + alt + delete and the dialog comes up , or when you boot up a windows machine and you have the windows login box - I need another button that will basically open up IE.

Any ideas?

I know that we have been wanting to do the same thing here. We worked with Microsoft on it a little bit, but in the end they stressed that we shouldn't do it because any windows updates to winlogon may require us to update our code. In addition their updates *could* break winlogon.

In Server 2003 and below, you have to replace the GINA dll to do it. This DLL contains that ctrl+alt+del menu, and the logon screen.

In Vista, you can add items to the login screen with credential providers, which is much much nicer than replacing the whole login system. However, I don't believe it's possible to add things to the ctrl+alt+del menu.
