i can not do it

Ur suppose to copy the file to your desktop,... not take it from C:

the file you mention, winlogon, doesn't even exist in that location, and i did a search and had no results.

yes, i have 'show hidden files' option set.

i've found and edited the file for the logging off message, but not this one.

please and thank you.

nope, it's definitely not there, i have on the list, wininit.exe.mui and the next file down is winload.efi.mui

seriously, i've even used the search and it wasn't found.

i'm thinking possibly i deleted it by mistake when i meant to delete the original wininit.exe.mui when i was editing it to change the logon message.

i'm hoping the place i got my puter from is willing to just email me the file (they're 53 km from here so it's kinda a nuisance to drop in) as they will have it on record that i have genuine windows and not a pirated copy.

Hi Guys - please help. Ive followed all the steps and initially it worked BEFORE I rebooted. Then after reboot sadly my customised logon messaged disappeared. I went thru all the steps again but was suprised to see the winlogon.mui.exe still had the customised messaged in. I have SP1.
So . . . why did it initially work and then stopped working even tho the file shows the message . . . . but most importantly I guess I do I fix it?
Thx to all in advance.

Hello TheKooster, and welcome to Seven Forums.

Did you make any changes, install anything, or run anything before this happened?

Nope - I just followed the instructions, then logged of and logged on and it worked. Then without doing anything else I rebooted and logged on and then nothing.
