[dba-Tech] Ctrl-Alt-Del

Steve,
We crossed emails. Are you saying that you do not have "Use the Welcome
Screen" as an option when in the user account screen?

BTW besides "Tweak" norton Systemworks 2005 included an option to dink
around with this kind of stuff.

John,

Well, I didn't find the farging "Advanced" tab in the User Accounts, but I
DID find Security Settings under Administrative

Go to All Programs | Administrative Tools | Local Security Policy. 
Under Local Policies | Security Options there's a policy labeled
"Interactive Login: Do not require CTRL+ALT+DEL".  That must be set to
DISABLED to require a user to hit Ctrl-Alt-Del before logging in. 
FINALLY!  I just don't ever remember having to go to the Security Policies
to do this.  I'll bet that a recent Windows upgrade changed what you used to
be able to do through the Control Panel WITHOUT changing the Help files.

Thanks, John.
