Cool Norman, glad it worked.
...\LogonPrompt = Registry Path (the value we want to add/change)
1 = Registry Type (DWORD, String, etc.)
%LogonPrompt% = Display Name (the variable we added to [Strings])
2 = Display Type (in the SCM GUI, we were offered a text field to double-click)
Those are all further described here, How to Add Custom Registry Settings to Security
Configuration Editor
http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q214/7/52.asp
One additional note, the procedure appears to work on NT4 as well. Provided of course
the Security Configuration Editor/Manager is installed to NT4, the only differences
may be the inherent GUI changes for NT4's SCM, and the command to register the new
Registry value in the database which is
regsvr32.exe %WINDIR%\system32\scedll.dll
instead of Win2k/XP's scecli.dll.
