I am wondering how to change the logon screen so instead of saying "Windows Vista Business" it would say something like "Windows Vista _______ Edition" or something like that. Also is there a way to change it so instead of saying "welcome" it could say something like "Access Granted"

Thank You

i think with logonstudio you can make your own logon screens so that one would work for you.

I would advise you keep your hands off the dll's http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DLL_hell what you are trying to do is not worth it, as you apparently have no clue how to approach the problem.

Sorry, we don't provide email support, or support for hacking dlls in this way.
