ALT + CTRL + DEL

To anyone that can help:

Being someone that upgraded from Windows 2000 Professional to Windows XP
Professional, I am used to the little windows box that comes up when you hit
ALT + CTRL + DEL. This box gives you options such as locking the
workstation or opening task manager or shutting down your PC.
On my Windows XP Professional PC, I do not get these options when I hit
A:LT + CTRL + DEL. Hitting this key combination automatically takes me into
task manager. Is there a way to get Windows XP Professional to bring up the
same windows box that you see in Windows 2000 Professional? Thanks!

To lock the workstation = windows key + L
Task manager = ctrl-alt-del
Shutdown is in task manager under the shutdown menu.

Disable the Welcome Screen and the old behaviour will come back.

Control Panel, User Accounts, Change the way Users log on and off machine
Uncheck "Use Welcome Screen"

CAD then double-click on the gray area down by the "End Task" button to get
the Tabs to show.

Actually anywhere on the gray border will do.

He wants the Windows Security dialog box back (like it was called up with
CAD key combo in Win2k), not Task Manager.
