[THIN] Re: MSGINA.dll

Hi Thad,

As far as i'm aware you can't add functionaility to something using tools like 
Resource Hacker, you can only take it away or change the consmetics (labels / 
order etc...).  I think in order to do what you want to do you would have to 
create your own GINA or similar.

You could try creating a small app and runnining it as an interactive service 
so that you have an additional GUI on the screen - not sure how it would show 
on the logon screen.

You also need to be carefull though too - if your button was to open IE and go 
to a webpage you are in essense running IE in the SYSTEM context meaning if 
someone were to say do File -> Open or other similar actions, they in essense 
have SYSTEM control of the local machine.

Regards,
Jon

  I want to alter this to add a button to the logon window.  This button would 
then make a connection to an HTTPS site, where users could do self-service 
password reset.  I have found the resource hacker tool (Man is that thing 
powerful), but I do not know enough about how to make the change I desire.

  Can someone assist?
