[dba-Tech] Ctrl-Alt-Del

LOL! You have kids don't you? :-)))

OK, now I just had to use the damned ctrl-alt-del to get back in because I
forgot to turn it back off :-O

I'm wondering because this here tank is up to speed with all the MS security
updates and it worked for me so it does seem to suggest there is a
difference for some reason. You had a local policy to not display the
Ctrl-Alt-Del and I had a local policy to display it. Now, I've never changed
it on my machine...
;o)

Actually the other burning question is do you have it set up in a domain?
Why? Because the only PCs I've set up that have the ctrl-alt-del turned on
by default are those connected to a W2x domain server. All the stand alone
or workgroup based WinXP PCs had the cutesy little flowers and crap on the
login screen.

And Steve, you think this is irritating crap?! I just spent the last half a
day trying to get my Nero Burning Rom to work again. It had been working and
all I did was change the Nero setup to add InCD. I had to remove the entire
friggin thing and then use their "cleaners" to get everything tidy again,
download a 100+ minor upgrade and install it. All the while rebooting about
a million friggin times! Who was that recommended Nero 7?!

Here's hoping your tomorrow is better than today!

John,

"This isn't Arguments.  This is Abuse."  "Oh!  So sorry!"  [slam] "Stupid
git!"

Yes, there is a "Use the Welcome Screen" option.  What I was saying was that
un-checking it did NOT require me to type Ctrl-Alt-Del.  I only just found
the Local Policy option for Ctrl-Alt-Del 30 minutes ago.

I still only have SystemWorks 2003.  I've gotten six copies from Ebay for an
average of $8 or $9 each so I'm not impelled to upgrade.

Anyway, I got Ctrl-Alt-Del back.  Very little left to do to have my "new"
drive C: up to snuff with everything I want installed on it.
