Steve,
Me thinks you are abusing me not disabusing!

Alas, fair friend, a misunderstanding.

There IS an option to force ALL users to press ctrl-alt-del in order to log
in. My point was there is not a PER user option to choose it. In other
words, either all the users have to press ctrl-alt-del or none of them have
to. Did I make myself clear now? :o)

I will walk through exactly what I have to do to force ALL users to press
ctrl-alt-del in order to login:
Start | Control Panel | User Accounts | User Accounts | Change the Way Users
Log On or Off | Uncheck "Use the Welcome Screen" | Apply | Close | Close |
Start | Shutdown | Log Off | Log Off

At this point I am presented with a dialog asking me to press ctrl-alt-del
to login

To get this same dialog when your screen saver is disturbed by keyboard or
mouse open display properties | Screen Saver Tab | Check "On Resume,
Password Protect"

Quiet simply far too many steps to do something so basic, don't you think?
Me thinks if you PC does not respond the same then you might have to "tweak"
it a bit!
;o)

Good luck!
