Sorry to ask this as I'm sure it's obvious to those with more
experience!

I have a dual boot machine that uses the boot.ini file to default to Win
98SE or by choice to XP.

Could I let it default into 98 and then give a text screen with Accept /
Reject buttons? I would like certain folk to see a 'security' type
warning to make them think before they access that OS. XP is not really
an issue as there is a front end password that the likely user is
unlikely to work around. I just need a warning screen to make them
think.

Yes easy just modify the registry.

Windows 95 and Windows 98
To enable a warning message, modify the following registry key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Winlogon
The string values will appear on the logon banner.

Example:
"LegalNoticeCaption"="Important Notice:"
"LegalNoticeText"="No Unauthorized access allowed"

In NT and later:

SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
Add or modify the following values:
Name Data Type Value
-----------------------------------------------
LegalNoticeCaption REG_SZ Dialog Caption
LegalNoticeText REG_SZ Dialog Message


Obviously in the you can place whatever text you want in your banner.
