Windows 2000 Logon Dialog

[Grok]

I am not googling the correct phrases to find how to program a custom/replacement Windows 2000 logon dialog box.  Anyone else know how?

You need to make a GINA - Graphical Identification and Authentication dll

Nice, Swedish google.

Thank you Adron.

The Platform SDK also has two samples related to implementing a GINA dll that you might want to check out.

Generally it's much easier to use a passthrough DLL instead of writing the whole one from scratch because there are many things to handle, the documentation leaves lots to desire, and it's a pain to debug.  If you don't have something like VMware that lets you restore to a known-good point after you install a GINA that crashes winlogon, you're going to have real difficulty finishing the project.

Turns out Blazer just wanted to replace the logo, so he found a resource editor.  He asked me how to replace the dialog altogether.  Bah.
