Hi,

I know this may sound silly....my company is looking for a product that can immediately display..or popup a list of "company weekly events" either BEFORE or AFTER the end user logs into windows...(or possibly when they press CTRL+ALT+DEL). This is NOT a legal caption...in other words, the user will be automatically notified of what has and will happen on a weekly basis. In addition, the information need to be changed/updated also on a weekly basis or when needed.

Could someone please help and advise whether there is suc a product out there that can do the job.

Thanks for your help in advance.

AFTER the login is easy, just add code to the login script - you do have one, right? - to display a read-only text file on a server in Notepad. Not elegant but it works and it's free.

BEFORE the login is tricky. Perhaps you could use a screen saver that displays a text file but it would only be as up-to-date as the last successful login. Why would you WANT to do it before?

rdschaefer hit the nail on the head as far as I'm concerned.

Use a login script, its very easy to do and easy to update weekly as well. Why spend money (not that I know of a product made to do what you ask anyway) on something such as simply displaying weekly company information bulletins.

And also, really what is the point for even considering displaying the information BEFORE login? ;)

later.
