What would be the best way for when I turn on my computer for a dos prompt to come up (before the windows logon screne) where it can scroll by a custom batch file that would appear where I can have something like -

echo custom message
echo.
pause

ect..
 
if you have better than XP home (i.e. xp pro),
for just the current user...
start->run->gpedit.msc->User Configuration->Windows Settings->Scripts (Logon/Logoff)->Logon->Add

for all users on machine...
start->run->gpedit.msc->Computer Configuration->Windows Settings->Scripts (Startup/Shutdown)->Startup->Add

Your best bet otherwise is just to stick it in start->program files->startup->place .bat here
