Change Password Display

How can I add picture that will pop up whenever an incorrect password is entered on my computer? ;P
You're going to have to explain what you mean by "whenever an incorrect password is entered on my computer". There is no global event that fires every time a bad password is entered in any login window.

2006, 2007, 2008I think he means: If someone enters the wrong password trying to log into my Windows installation. That kind of stuff would be handled by the GINA, right? So, he got to write a GINA.dll replacement, if I am not mistaken. I think he might have watched Jurassic Park in school...

2006, 2007, 2008Dave, For example whenever I enter an incorrect password on my computer at login the following message appears "The supplied credentials were invalid. Please try again or contact your system administrator for help". How can I change this? I would want say a picture of me to pop up and say wrong password or some other form of animation of my choosing. Is this possible?

Sure. You just have to write a completely new GINA for XP and below. For Vista and above, this means writing a new Credential Provider. Either of which you can only write in Visual C++, or equivilent.

Well, you could use something like reshacker to modify GINA, msgina.dll. You can't put an image in the incorrect password message as it is created by MessageBox(), but you could edit the text for incorrect password... Also you can modify the windows XP banner above login fields, but not sure if thats the same DLL, or another one...
