Your password will expire in 42 days
I really dislike the inevitable “Your password will expire in N days” dialog on Windows XP machines, which I assume is enforced by group policy. I really don’t need to be constantly informed of this — I use the damn computer every day. Just tell me when the password has expired, and I’ll change it.
Plus, it makes a really loud beeping sound when I unlock the computer. I should probably disable the system speaker. :/
I presume it’s designed for people who take forever to think up a new password that don’t like to be caught off guard. Coming in on a Monday and finding that your computer forces a password change as you struggle to get ready for your important meeting would make people angry. I, on the other hand, think of new passwords quickly and don’t have important meetings. Boo group policy settings!
