Loading and Running a GINA DLL

Windows loads and executes the standard Microsoft GINA DLL (MSGina.dll). To load a different GINA, you must alter the following registry key value:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
   Software
      Microsoft
         Windows NT
            CurrentVersion
               Winlogon
                  GinaDLL<dl>
<dt>

                  Data type
</dt>
<dd>                  REG_SZ</dd>
</dl>

If the GinaDLL key value is present, it must contain the name of a GINA DLL, which Winlogon will load and use.
