View Full Version : CTRL ALT DEL?
Blake
March 3rd 04, 03:25 PM
I just bought a new computer with XP Pro on it, and when
I lock my computer, I want it to sit there on the screen
that requires you to press CTRL ALT DEL to unlock it
again. If I go into the help menu on my PC, it says go
to Control Panel, click on User Accounts, and then click
on the Advanced Tab. Only problem is, there is no
Advanced Tab. I don't know if my version of windows is
still in dummy mode or what, but the tab just isn't
there. Is there any way to take it out of dummy mode? I
miss windows2000 already =/

I believe what you want is "change the way users log in" option after you go
to User Accounts. You want the one like NT 4.0 uses..?
I've tried going to the "change the way users log in, and
it only gives me two options...either Use Welcome Screen
or Dont use welcome screen.

Advanced tab | Require users to press Ctrl + Alt + Delete |
