Remove 'Welcome' message screen at startup Roshan R.D 7/6/2007 10:06:03 AM Hello All, I am building a custom shell using Winlogon component, I can’t use Minlogon due to some issues. I want to remove the "Welcome" message screen during Windows XPe boot time. This question is not related to the splash screen (i.e. setting Noguiboot in boot.ini) I think this is part of msgina: ShellReadyEvent. Anyone knowing the solution please help. Regards Roshan.

Re: Remove 'Welcome' message screen at startup Roshan R.D 7/6/2007 2:18:04 PM Hello Mike, Thanks for the reply, I tried the registry settings and added the Automatic Logon component but still I can see the Welcome Screen for some time on the screen. What must be missing? Regards Roshan. "Mike Warren" wrote: [Quoted Text] > Roshan R.D wrote: > > > I am building a custom shell using Winlogon component, I can’t use > > Minlogon due to some issues.

Re: Remove 'Welcome' message screen at startup "Sean Liming \(MVP\)" <sean_liming[ at ]sjjmicro.com> 7/6/2007 3:03:45 PM There are alternative solutions to getting rid of the Welcome screen. Here is a link to my MEDC Lockdown presentation: http://www.seanliming.com/MEDC2007.html that discusses the alternatives.

What must be missing? These are the keys I used to set to prevent the light blue "Welcome" screen. The side effect is that you will see 2 short dialogs in place of it. HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon String 'AutoAdminLogon', '1' String 'DefaultPassword', '' Integer 'DontDisplayLastUserName', 1 Integer 'DisableCAD', 1 Integer 'LogonType', 0 String 'Shell', ProgName -- -Mike

Re: Remove 'Welcome' message screen at startup "JS" <nospam[ at ]anytime.com> 7/6/2007 11:57:52 PM Also, if your shell takes a long time to start (eg: a .net app), you may want to create a small C program to be your shell. It can show a splash screen while it launches your real shell.
