What gives?

from JoeUser Forums
Hi guys! I'm fairly new to Wincustomize forums but that does not make me an idiot nor someone who makes mistakes. That would come from my mother
Anyway, I've been hacking windows to some extent and making a custom security prompt that appears at startup. I have done this perfectly and without any errors, and I think this excercise would be good practice and maybe useful to members of this community. Yet, because I am new to the forums, I cannot make a tutorial. What can I do? I really really, *really* want to post this tutorial.

What does the security prompt do?

Start11 - Customize the Start Menu and Taskbar in Windows 10/11.

the security prompt appears before logon asking for information. It could be a password, a number, a name, anything. You can place a bitmap in the dialog box custom wording etc etc. There's also a really quick windows standard option which places a mathematical code on a floppy disk and requires that to be present at startup.

Yes it is. Mine has mormegil's key icon and windows asks me to identify myself. If I get it wrong it keeps asking. There are 2 buttons, OK, And Restart. There's absolutely no way around this as far as I know except formatting which would lose the files you were trying to get into. So it's a VERY secure method of protection.
I've done it with the windows command "syskey" and the internal NT logon application, and I've been using ResHacker, which some of you may have heard of. Try googling it. If you like I can just post it in a forum but it wouldn't reach a lot of people

The reason you can't post an article is your a access class is "visitor (2)"
I believe you have to be a member of Wincustomize to post. You can purchase a Stardock Product or a Wincustomize Subscription and all will be well.

I can't skin very well either and I've never made a WB Skin. I can't afford Photoshop or CorelDraw and they take too long to download off P2P
