Trouble enabling CTRL-ALT-DEL prompt at logon

M

Mike

I am trying to enable the CTRL-ALT-DEL requirement at
logon. I gave up on figuring it out myself and resorted
to the Knowledge Base. But when I follow the directions
they have, I do not have the same screens.
The instructions are as follows, according to Article
Q308226:
1. Open User Accounts in Control Panel.
2. Click the Advanced tab.
3. In Secure logon, select the Require users to press
Ctrl+Alt+Delete check box.
The problem is that I do not have an Advanced tab in the
User Accounts window to click on, even when signed in as
Administrator. Any ideas why?

Sounds like you read information for the wrong operating
system. You're using Windows XP I'm assuming, and to
enable the classic logon (where you must type a user name)
do (almost) like it said in what you read:

Go to the Control Panel
Go to the User Accounts icon

Now... under the Pick a Task... select the last option
(last green arrow) which is "Change the way users log on
or off". There will be two check boxes. One is "Use the
Welcome Screen". Uncheck this box, and you'll have the
CTRL+ALT+DEL prompt at logon.
