Lock Computer?

P

(PeteCresswell)

I've got two PCs, both Windows XP Pro SP2.

On one, when I press Ctl-Alt-Delete, I get what I expect: a "Windows Security"
dialog that gives me the option of locking the workstation.

On the other, I get TaskMan without a Lock option and the Start|ShutDown dialog
is a dumbed-down version.


Something about a "traditional something-or-other" in some settings somewhere
I'd guess"..... but What/Where?

Anybody know?

Control Panel -> User Accounts -> Change the way users log on
or off -> Uncheck "Use the Welcome Screen" -> Hit the Apply
Options button -> Hit CAD now and see what happens now.

Good luck
