I want to make users push control-alt-delete to log onto the computer and in the help file it says to have admin privileges. It says to go into user accounts and click the advanced tab, but there is no advanced tab. I have tried to do this on my account (which is also an admin) and the actual admin account. The advanced tab simply does not exsist. Is this a bug, or is there a backdoor to make this happen that anyone knows of?

Thanks,

Matt
 
Type this instruction in the Run Box.........control userpasswords2.........and go to advanced option in resulting window.
 
If you want to make your users use the clt-alt-del key combination here is how you do it.

open up regedit and go to HKLM->software->Microsoft->WindowsNT->CurrentVersion->Winlogon

Go to edit->new->DWORD and type in DisableCAD and leave the value at "0".

That will do the trick.

 
A much easier way to fix this is to just hit ctrl+alt+del TWICE while looking at the desktop. It should then require the C+A+D to login
