I recently upgraded from Home to XP Pro. In XP Pro, isn't CTL-ALT-Delete
supposed to display a dialog, with a number of options -- shutdown, Lock
Computer, Task Manager...and others. I was expecting this after the upgrade,
but the system just displays the Task Manager.

I need to keep the machine running but locked so that it gets backed up at
night.

Thank you

The top-level menus and tabs in Task Manager are missing

This is the expected behavior if "Fast User Switching" is enabled.
Enter "Fast User Switching" in Help & Support for more info.

Thank you. By turning off the Welcome Screen option, I got the UI I was
expecting. Many thanks.
