Windows Security Box

Is there another way to open the Windows Security (Lock
Computer, Task Manager, Logoff, etc.) since the
Ctrl+Alt+Del shortcut isn't working?

Turn off the Welcome Screen

[[To turn the Welcome screen on or off
You must have a computer administrator account on a computer that is a
member of a workgroup or is a stand-alone computer to turn on or turn off
the Use the Welcome screen feature. Logging on at the Welcome screen is not
available on computers that are members of a network domain.

Open User Accounts in Control Panel.
Click Change the way users log on or off.

To specify that users log on to the computer without using the Welcome
screen, clear the Use the Welcome screen check box.
The Welcome screen will no longer appear when you start the computer. To log
on to the computer, type your user name (and password, if you have one) in
the standard Log On to Windows dialog box.
Notes
To open User Accounts, click Start, point to Settings, click Control Panel,
and then double-click User Accounts.]]

thanks! I'll try that. I just want to make sure that
we're talking about the same thing though. My problem is
that the shortcut Ctrl+Alt+Del won't work in bringing up
Windows Security / Task Manager. You're saying that
turning off the welcome screen will fix it so the
shortcut works?

With the Welcome Screen turned on Ctrl + Alt + Delete opens the Task
Manager.
With the Welcome Screen turned off Ctrl + Alt + Delete opens the Windows
Security popup.

okay, then something else is wrong. Ctrl+Alt+Del doesn't
open anything. Not even the task manager. I can type
taskmgr into the run line and that will work. But,
Ctrl+Alt+Del does nothing at all.
