If you want the full text to be a link you will need to add your own static text (label) next to the check box using Resource Hacker on the correct UI (i.e. Contrib\UIs\modern.exe). The text is in the language string $(^AcceptBtn) so you can set your label text to that in the page show function. Use the Linker plug-in to make the label a clickable link. If you only want "I agree" text clickable then it means you have to add a SysLink control (again it can be done using Resource Hacker). However it means the text has to contain the <a> (anchor) tag so you can't really use $(^AcceptBtn). SysLink is only available on XP and above.

Edit: SysLink: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libr...=vs.85%29.aspx
Note that because the page is not nsDialogs, you have to sub-class the inner window yourself to handle the WM_NOTIFY message. Search the forum.

SysLink is actually available on 2000, but it has a different class name and uses different messages IIRC

If it is to the left then add a static text with Resource Hacker and turn it into a link with the Linker plug-in.
