Logon with CTRL - ALT - Del

[Ron Boetger]

How do you make Windows XP require the CTRL - ALT - DEL for logon?

Thanks

Click Start, Run and enter CONTROL USERPASSWORDS2. Go to the Advanced tab.

If the option there is greyed out, go to Start, Run and enter GPEDIT.MSC. In GPEDIT go to Computer Configuration, Windows Settings, Security Settings, Local Policies, Security Options. In the right pane, locate Interactive logon: Do not require CTRL-ALT-DEL. Double click this and set it to Disabled. Its default is Not Defined.

Found it and checked "Require users to press CTRL+ALT+DEL" and
rebooted and still does not require the CTRL+ ALT+DEL.

Any Ideas?

Thanks

PS
Tried the second option (GPEDIT) and it did not work either.

Thanks

Do you have the Welcome Screen enabled? If so, this setting is ignored. You must disable the Welcome Screen and use the older Windows style logon.

How do you do that?

Many Thanks

Never mind. I found it and that worked.

Thanks again'
