Can we customize the localized string in OWA 2007 Logon page?   

I just want to find out if customization of the following contents in OWA 
2007 Logon Page is possible or not? If yes then can you please provide me a 
good document. 

1. Remove the field title “Domain\user name:” and put “E-Mail Address:”
2. Replace bottom area. Currently it is <logo> Connected to Microsoft 
Exchange” etc. We want it to say “To protect your account from unauthorized 
access, Company’s Web Mail Access automatically closes its connection to your 
mailbox after a period of inactivity. If your session ends, refresh your 
browser, and then log on again. <line space> copyright symbol, Company 
Limited. ”
3. When you select Show Explanation next to Security, the following should 
be displayed:

a) Under “This is a public or shared computer” – “Select this option if you 
use Company’s Web Mail Access on a public computer.”

b) Under “This is a private computer.” - 

We are not using ISA. We have used the following link to change the Look of 
the OWA: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb310750.aspx. 
Unfortunately, this document deals with the visual styling of the OWA 
interface. We can’t find any reference to modifying the localized string 
content. We want to customize the localized string content.  

With best regards,

Muhammad

I don't know of any 'official' way to change the value of the rendered 
strings, but you can certainly hard-code them into the logon.aspx file where 
required.  For example, replace

  <%=UserNameLabel%>

with

  Email address
