[dba-Tech] Ctrl-Alt-Del

 "Quiet simply far too many steps to do something so basic, don't you
think?"

Maybe because it a very rare (same may say quite ridiculous) requirement
for a home PC that's not on a domain  ;=)

If your home network gets hacked you've got a hell of a lot more to
worry about than making them hit CTR-ALT-DEL.  Ie - its pointless...

Cheers,
A

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!
