Winlogon Notification Packages
Winlogon notification packages are DLLs that receive and handle events generated by Winlogon. You can implement such a notification package to monitor and respond to Winlogon events. This is useful for applications that need to perform additional processing during logon or logoff, or maintain state information that must be updated when Winlogon events occur.
For more information about Winlogon and GINAs, see Winlogon and GINA.
