require control alt delete to log on

mgm

I'm running win xp pro sp2. on a shared computer that accesses a workgroup
network. I would like to require the more secure log on of using
ctrl+alt+del for all log ons.

I go to user accounts from the control panel and am presented with this
cutesy "pick a task" menu. No where do I see an option to require
ctrl+alt+del or an advanced button to access this option... how do I require
ctrl+alt+del ? The cutsey stuff is annoying.

Hi,

Go to START - RUN and type control userpasswords2 then click on
the ADVANCED tab and put a check next to "Requires users to press
ctrl+alt+delete"

Thank you Bert... that's exactly what I was trying to do. Why isn't this
info in the XP help files? Why is the help file WRONG?

Hi,

There is a procedure in Help to do the same thing through Control
Panel.
In Help do a search on ctrl alt delete and you will see this.

To require users to press CTRL+ALT+DELETE before logging on:
You must be logged on as an administrator or a member of the
Administrators group on a computer that is part of a network domain in
order to complete this procedure. Network policy settings may also
prevent you from completing this procedure.

Open User Accounts in Control Panel.
Click the Advanced tab.
In Secure logon, select the Require users to press Ctrl+Alt+Delete
check box.

Notes
To open User Accounts, click Start, click Control Panel, and then
double-click User Accounts.
Pressing CTRL+ALT+DELETE before logging on guarantees that the
authentic Windows logon prompt appears. Requiring the use of
CTRL+ALT+DELETE increases security and helps to thwart certain Trojan
horse programs.
