I have a workstation that has no CNTL+ALT+DEL logon prompt. Anyone ever seen this? Normal desktop background in tact. No errors when booting.

This is where it is in Windows 2000, should be similar in NT4.

To require pressing CTRL+ALT+DELETE before logging on

Open Users and Passwords in Control Panel.
Click the Advanced tab.
In Secure Boot Settings, click Require users to press Ctrl-Alt-Delete before logging on.
 
Perhaps I wasn't descriptive enough with my question. When the wksta boots up to the point where there SHOULD be a CNTL+ALT+DEL prompt ...it stops. It doesn't continue to a useable desktop. The C+A+D prompt simply doesn't come up so a normal logon is not accessable.
 
It could be a corrupt msgina.dll file. Try swapping it for one off an NT CD. If the drive is FAT you can do this by booting off a DOS disk. If it's NTFS the easiest way is to slave the drive in another PC.
