Change the Windows Password Expiry Notification Period from 14 Days Files attached

If you are looking to change the windows default password expiry notification from 14 days to somthing else then this should help.

The default value of 14 days is stored in the DWORD registry key HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\passwordexpirywarning simply changing or creating this key will alter the number of days prior to expiry the user will get notified.

If like me you want to change this for more than one computer then the below vbs script run as part of a logon script etc should do the trick.
