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

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.
