If there is a registry hack that will permit the resetting of the default 14 day notification period on password changes. I need to know what this hack is.

Go to start- run and type regedit
Expand:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]
Value Name: Passwordexpirywarning
Data Type: REG_DWORD (DWORD Value)
Value Data: Number of Days (Default = 14),

If you double click on this value you will got a screen in which the value could be not in decimal, but in Hexadecimal..
I think it should be clear to you that if you cange in hex, it will be changed in dec automaticaly and vise versa.

Good Luck
