Hello, I have a question concerning WinAPI. I've previously coded many successful apps using the WinAPI functions. Please allow me to give a brief description of my recet app.

I sm now testing an app which attempts to close the "Interactive Logon Message" in Win2000 Server. This app uses the FindWindowEx API function to enumerate windows, and when it finds the window, it closes the window. This code works when in the Windows shell (logged in to Win2000).

I've setup a service (wrapper) to run my app, because technically, when the "Interactive Logon Message" appears, we are STILL in the boot-up process. I know the service works -- because my app writes to a log file.

My problem is that while my app is indeed running (as a service), the "Interactive Logon Message" window DOES NOT close.

Can someone provide me some info how I can accomplish this? Is there another function call other than the WinAPI, that can CLOSE a window before Win2000 actually boots up?

Thank you in advance
