Logon Message

Windows 2000 provides two settings to configure a logon message to be displayed to users:

  • Message Text for Users Attempting to Log On
  • Message Title for Users Attempting to Log On

Set both of these with the appropriate logon message for your organization.

To force Windows 2000 to clear the system pagefile on shutdown, enable the Clear Virtual Memory Pagefile When System Shuts Down setting.
