Screenshots
Message Editor
The main screen shows all configured messages. Create, edit, delete, or preview any message from this central dashboard.
Configure the message name, location, caption, and body text. Use built-in macros to dynamically display user and system information. Load message content from network files for easy updates.
Choose standard Windows icons or custom images of any size. Add custom sounds or Windows event sounds to grab attention when the message appears.
Buttons, Options, and Scheduling
Configure button text, actions (launch app, open URL, logoff, restart, shutdown), errorlevel codes, images, fonts, and delay timers that disable buttons until the user has read the full message.
Advanced options: hide the desktop, disable taskbar, block Ctrl+Alt+Del and Alt+Tab, keep focus on top, prevent window movement, and full-screen display.
Schedule messages for specific days, dates, or recurring intervals. Combine with cookie tracking for one-time or periodic compliance displays.
Logging and Cookies
Configure detailed compliance logging with username, machine name, IP address, button clicked, and timestamp. Export to delimited files for database import.
The cookie feature prevents the same message from appearing on the same machine more than once -- perfect for one-time policy acknowledgments.
Message Examples
A sample message as displayed to the end user, with custom text, icon, and configurable action buttons.
A message loaded from a text file with scrollbar enabled and buttons disabled until the allotted time has passed -- ensuring users read the full policy.
An RTF file loaded from the network with borderless display, white background, and scrollbar -- fully customizable message presentation.
