By default, the system does not display the instructions in the logon scripts that are run on a Windows 2000 client.
If the Windows 2000 client is a member of a Windows 2000 domain, the easiest way to alter this behavior is to use the Run logon scripts visible Group Policy (User Configuration\Administrative Templates\System\Logon/Logoff).
If the Windows 2000 client is a member of a Windows NT 4.0 domain, use Regedt32 to navigate to:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System
NOTE: You may have to add the System key.
