re you sick of seeing the same tips again and again when you first logon to Windows? Now you can change them to whatever you want, whether it's quotes, jokes or a to-do list, anything is possible.




Open your registry and find the key below.





HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ SOFTWARE\ Microsoft\ Windows\ CurrentVersion\ Explorer\ Tips





Create a new string valued named by incrementing the existing value names and set it to the required tip text.





eg. 32 - Dont forget to Visit ShareOrDie.com

To restrict a users logon hours , use the net user command. These commands are used from the Command Prompt. (Start - RUN - and type cmd)




Below are some examples:





1 - net user Joanna /time:M-F,08:00-17:00





2 - net user Ninja /time:M-F,8am-5pm





3 - net user Echelon /time:M,4am-5pm;T,1pm-3pm;W-F,8:00-17:00





4 - net user Shine /time:all (this one means this user can always log on)







Note:You can only restrict when a user can log on to the system. On a stand alone computer, there is no way to force a user to log off when their hours expire, without a third party script or software.
