Needing 'Control-Alt-Delete' to log on

[Brian Frith]

I used to need to enter 'Control-Alt-Delete' before logging on, but a few
days ago that disappeared. On the Microsoft Help Site it says I should go
to Control Panel > User Accounts > Advanced tab and tick the required box
...... but my 'User Account' page hasn't got an Advanced tab ! (This problem
refers to my lap-top, but I've looked on my Desktop computer and that hasn't
got one either)

Type the following in the Run command box (WinKey+R)

control userpasswords2

You will find the option there.

Thanks for the tip - I can now see the advanced tab and open up the dialogue
box .... but the option to select 'Control Alt Delete' is greyed out! Any
more ideas?

Not sure why it is greyed out.

But you can edit the Registry to have CTRL-ALT-DEL require to logon.

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies\System
and
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon

DisableCAD
REG_DWORD
0 = CTL-ALT-DEL is on at logon
1= CTL-ALT-DEL is off at logon
