Take the tour ×  I am using wss 3.0, is there a way to change
default email message content, when new user is added to the
sharepoint site.  share|improve this question add comment  1
Answer  Yes, there is a way, but it is NOT recommended. You
should never edit any of the default files installed by
SharePoint. They can be overwritten any time by a service pack
or cumulative update.  SharePoint stores most of the text
strings it uses in its UI in resx files. These resx files are
located in the 12 hive under /Resources. To find out where
exactly, search the 12 Hive for the string you want to modify,
and you should find the resx file. Often, you'll find at least
two files: the base resx file and the resx file associated with
a particular language. You should make your change in the
language specific version (in this case, core.en-US.resx). One
you have made your change, run IISRESET to force SharePoint to
re-process the resx file, and you should be in business. The
strings will be changed globally.  share|improv
