Lock Computer button greyed out

[Guest]

I have admin rights to my Win XP machine (it's fully patched). But
CTRL-ALT-DEL brings up the Security box with everything enabled but the "Lock
Computer" button, which is greyed out. Any ideas on how to fix this?

Look at:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System]
"DisableLockWorkstation"=dword:00000000

Change value from 1 to 0 or delete the value altogether.

Using Group Policy Editor [ XP Pro ]:
.... Click Start > Run
.... Type "gpedit.msc" (Without quotes)
.... Expand [Administrative Templates\System\Ctrl+Alt+Del Options] under User
configuration
.... Double click "Remove Lock Computer" and set it to "Disabled" or "Not
configured"


Using Regedit [ As John said ]:
.... Click Start > Run
.... Type "regedit" (without quotes)
.... Expand
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System]
.... Delete "DisableLockWorkstation" from Right side
