Vista Password Expiry Balloon

When our users passwords are due to expire they get a balloon appear in the
system tray. This is not very useful as not everyone pays attention to what
appears in the system tray and it would be better to have the XP style pop-up
box advising that your password is due to expire.

Is there any way of having this back? Or are we stuck with the balloon?

Hi Virtualdoom,

You can stop or change when the password will expire. If you stop it, you will not have to worry about it anymore. This will show you how.
