If you follow it word for word you should have no problem,

Try this:


Start Button->Run-> type "gpedit.msc"   (without the quotes)


This will bring up a window showing you the group policies.

In the left hand pane you will see the directory structure, navigate your way to the following:   Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\System

When you select the "system" folder in the left pane you will then see the contents in the right hand pane.  Scroll down and you should see the line "Remove Boot / Shutdown / Logon / Logoff status messages.

Select this line and the right-click and choose "properties"  Choose "Enabled" hit "Apply" then "OK".

I haven't tried it myself as of this writing, however it sounds like it might be of help.  Please be careful in the Group Policies and remember what you change incase of problems down the road.

Let me know if it works for ya - good luck.
