resource hacking, msgina.dll and 'lock dialog' discussion

[Geoff]

Fines and jail time are minor? Which planet do you live on? I wish to move there.

The legal way to do it is to create your own gina which m$ gives all the information on and source code examples that you might need.

 

If you need to keep original gina functionality as well I believe you can chain them.

@Plexer, you got a link for how to get the source code examples?

if i'm gonna implement this at the school - i better do it the legit way!

 

Done it the not-so-legal way on a Virtual PC and looks great, but better do it above board for the school.

That looks like a good start.

I'm no expert etc., but I'm really struggling to see what the criminal case would be e.g. no one would be bypassing a technogical protection mechanism...

 

...and I'm struggling to see what the civil case might be e.g. I don't see how MS would be able to claim credible damages if you replace a graphic.

 

I guess we need some case law, but I just can't see MS pursuing anyone for this kind of thing.

reverse engneering, alteration of software which is againt license agreement and so civil case it would be...

Anyone else managed to change this?

 

I used Resource Hacker and changed the XP Logon on the Logon box to our Logo, and changed all references to System Administrator to ICT Supoprt.

 

Looks good, so was just wondering if anyone else has done this?

 

Could you post up a screen-shot of this please?

Cheers

I Hope you didn't:

 

ICT Supoprt

as all the kids will be laughing at your spelling I hope it was ICT Support instead
