When I first got my hands on a PC, I squeezed every last drop of use out of all the applications that allowed us to perform some useful function in MS-DOS 5 and later MS-DOS 6. But once I had researched and had knowledge of practically all the applications that this operating system offered me, I began to carry out tests, editing certain files to be able to modify the texts that were displayed on the screen.
When you're young, you have time and you're passionate about a subject, so you try to do everything you can to investigate and discover new things. Back then, I managed to modify the text displayed at startup, the command.com file, and the text and image that appeared when Windows started and closed.
For all customization enthusiasts, How-To Geek offers a tool that allows you to modify the message that appears every time you start your version of Windows 10. This file is a small hack of the Windows registry, which consists of two files:
- Add legal notice to startup
- Remove legal notice from startup
Show custom message on Windows 10 startup
- Once we have unzipped the file, click on the right button on the file Add Legal notice to Startup and we select. Edit, to open it with the notepad.
- Next we go to Type Your Title Here, this is the text that we have to modify keeping the quotation marks. Once written, we save the file and close it.
- Now we just have to click twice on this file to modify the registry and include that text when Windows starts.
But how do I remove it?
If you don't like the result, you can delete the text you entered by double-clicking on the "Remove legal notice from startup" file , the other file found in the .zip file we downloaded at the beginning.
