"Computer Configuration\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Local Policies\Security Options\"

The value is a Multi-String registry value that allows you to make multiple lines in the message. The message pops up right after a users hits Ctrl+Alt+Del as a general warning to the user before actually logging on. But, unfortunately the formatting isn’t as perfect as it could be.
