Verbose Logon Messages

[HybridShadow]

There was a way to have it so while ur logging in the status message would change from Loading Your Personal Settings to more verbose messages saying loading this and that

I had it turned on by default on one of my old XP Cds (nLited) im not sure how i done it but i want to know how to turn it on

If anyone has any idea how to do this please let me know

Ive looked on google as much as i could

Dont worry i found it here it is for anyone else interested

Verbose Startup and Shutdown Messages

Did you know that a registry setting controls whether the system provides verbose messages during startup and shutdown? When you’re troubleshooting a system that's slow to start up or hangs during shutdown, you can switch between normal and verbose status messages by adding or editing a registry value on the local system. Windows 2000 checks the value entry verbosestatus in the registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System. To enable verbose messages, add the value entry

verbosestatus:REG_DWORD:1

To disable verbose messages, set this entry to 0. Another registry key controls whether the system pays attention to the verbosestatus entry. If the registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System\DisableStatusMessages exists and is set to 1, the system ignores the verbosestatus setting. You can also implement verbose messages for all systems in a group, domain, or OU by editing the equivalent field in Group Policy: Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\System. For more information, see Microsoft article Q316243.http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;q316243

Heres the reg file for those who dont like going in the registry or cant be bothered

It works, and I like it. However as you said it is probably best on a slower machine cuz on mine it's a bit of a blur. I'll be incorporating this in my next UA build

Cheers
