XP Logon method
Hi,
I changed the default setting for the XP logon to NOT use the welcome screen. However, whenever I start the machine, I see the logon box with the username displayed instead of the Ctl+Alt+Del box. I would like to not show the last logged on username. This is a standalone Laptop (not part of domain). Thanks. RK |

XP Logon method
"Nepatsfan" wrote in message , [snip] Note: If you're also looking to require users to hit Ctrl + Alt + Del in order to logon to the computer you have two options: 1. Use Group Policy and navigate to the location listed above. Look for Interactive logon: Do not require CTRL+ALT+DELETE in the right hand pane. Right click this setting and select Disable. Click OK. Close the Group Policy console and reboot the computer. 2. Go to Start - Run and enter control userpasswords2 in the Open box. Click OK. Click on the Advanced tab. Put a check mark in the box next to "Require users to press Ctrl + Alt + Delete". Click OK and reboot. I'm running XP Pro (SP2) on two machines, one desktop and one laptop, the laptop is only occasionally connected to the network, they are both members of the same workgroup for file sharing purposes. I have been trying to force the use of Ctrl-Alt-Del also, but every time use option 1 above the change is only remembered for the first time I reboot after making the change, subesequently the "Do not require Ctrl-Alt-Del" option returns to the default of "not defined" If I try option 2, the box to add a tick next to "require users to press Ctrl-Alt-Delete" is greyed out and not available, although it is ticked. Any suggestions..? Ivor Good luck Nepatsfan |
