How can we REMOVE the Microsoft XP control alt delete login
requirement?

On my Windows XP SP1 computer number 1, the login screen just asks for
a password.

On my Windows XP SP1 computer number 2, the login screen insists first
on the three-fingered salute. Only after pressing control + alt +
delete will Windows XP computer number 2 allow me to enter my login.

Nobody uses computer number 2 'cept me.

How can I REMOVE the need for the Microsoft XP control alt delete
requirement before entering my password to log in.

sincerely,

Run "control userpasswords2" and select the "Advanced" tab. Uncheck
"require users to press Ctl+Alt+Delete".

As near as I can tell, MS forgot to put that option on the XP User
Accounts control panel, but they left the Win2K User Accounts control
panel in place as an option.

Go to Start | Run | type in "control userpasswords2" withouth the
quotes. Click ok. On the advanced tab remove the check mark in Require
users to press Ctrl+Alt+Delete.

You can add this dialog box to the Control Panel with a name of User
Accounts 2 by a tweak at Kellys-Korner:

Add Control User Passwords2 to the Control Panel (Line 1)

Install Windows ME.

To the OP

Start -> Control Panel -> User Accounts -> Change the way users log on
or off Put check mark in Use the Welcome Screen and also Use Fast
User Switching.

HTH and YMMV

BZZZZZTT!!! Retard, you're replying to Dr. Bill. Not the OP.

Enlighten me then, oh Sage, how does one post to the OP when they
haven't seen the original post but, rather, only the crappy, no help
answers.

You just stay silent. The OP got the answer immediately, the rest was banter.
 
Buck Rogers spewed out this bit, and i'll scatter a few bits myself :

Shut up, and stop spewing with the mind of a stuffed animal. We want to hear
chanting like an idiot savant,we'll dip you in a vat of scalding hot shit.
