[dba-Tech] Ctrl-Alt-Del

Dear Group,

My sound problem is solved and I'm sure the video problem will be
solved today.  I've got a new one.

It's completely non-vital, but it's annoying.  On my "old" C: drive
(which I still have ready to take over if necessary -- just requires
an IDE cable swap) whenever I logged into Windows XP or halted the
screen saver, I had to type Ctrl-Alt-Del.  Now on the "new" C: drive
that doesn't happen.  The Windows logon comes up without the
three-finger salute, and when the screen saver is moused away I see
the logon...but no Ctrl-Alt-Del.

The "help" says to log in as Administrator, go to Control Panel and
open the User Accounts.  Then I'm supposed to click on the Advanced
tab.  Well, that's the trouble.  There IS no Advanced tab and I can't
figure out how to proceed.

I've simply gotten used to pressing Ctrl-Alt-Del at every logon
juncture.  It ain't critical by any means, but I'm nonplussed as to
why I can't seem to find where to get it back.  Any ideas?
