Can you offset the "Computer Locked" display when locking your computer in Windows XP Pro?

I would like the display window to show up in the top left or right of my screen so I can see the picture I have on my desktop. It currently defaults to the center of the screen (when I lock my computer using CTRL + ALT + DEL).

I'm not sure how you would offset the dialog box, but you can hide it.

Follow this procedure:

1. Install Recovery Console

2. Download a copy of ResourceHacker

3. Find "msgina.dll" under \windows\system32 and copy it to the root (C:\) folder

4. Start ResourceHacker and open msgina.dll from the root

5. Under Dialog-1900 replace the dialog with this one:

1900 DIALOGEX 0, 0, 0, 0

STYLE WS_POPUP | WS_VISIBLE

CAPTION ""

LANGUAGE LANG_ENGLISH, SUBLANG_ENGLISH_US

FONT 0, ""

{

}

6. Hit "Compile Script" and save it (an original of your msgina.dll was saved automatically under C:\ with the name "msgina_original.dll")

7. Restart the computer and choose Recovery Console at start up

8. Copy the new .dll into "\windows\system32" and "\windows\system32\dllcache" (hit "y" when it asks for rewriting existing file)

these are the commands:

copy c:\msgina.dll c:\windows\system32\

copy c:\msgina.dll c:\windows\system32\dllcache

9. type "exit"

10. Now when your Windows restarted and you Lock your computer there will not be any pop-up window. To unlock just simply hit ALT+CTRL+DEL

Try going to setting, Screen saver. If not you can move it once it locked every time.
