Hi everyone,

Does anyone know how to change the default text/message in a windows dialog box?

I am looking for help with the standard "Change Password" dialog box that dictates the "MS Complexity Rules" when enabled... I want to customize the message...

Any help would be GREAT!

It would seem that Microsoft also felt that the text in the box was confusing. What you are likely seeing is their attempt to make the info more clear. Based on the information in this link ( it looks the text that you want to change is compiled into a DLL. If you want to change the text you would have to change the information contained in these DLL’s. I would NOT recommend doing that though.
