SYMPTOMS
If you add the
Welcome string value to the following registry key on a computer that is running Windows Server 2003 and then set the value to
%ComputerName%, the computer name is not displayed on the title bar of the
Log On to Windows dialog box:

Although the computer name is not displayed in the title bar of the
Log On to Windows dialog box, it is displayed as expected in the title bar of the
Windows Security dialog box, the
Computer Locked dialog box, and the
Unlock Computer dialog box.
