never answered - is this machine part of a Domain,
or just a machine at home ?
Also - Are there more than a single user defined on this machine ?
------------------------------------
To require users to press CTRL+ALT+DELETE before logging on
You must be logged on as an administrator or a member of the Administrators
group on a computer that is part of a network domain in order to complete
this procedure. Network policy settings may also prevent you from completing
this procedure.
1.. Open User Accounts in Control Panel.
2.. Click the Advanced tab.
3.. In Secure logon, select the Require users to press Ctrl+Alt+Delete
check box.
Notes
a.. To open User Accounts, click Start, click Control Panel, and then
double-click User Accounts.
b.. Pressing CTRL+ALT+DELETE before logging on guarantees that the
authentic Windows logon prompt appears. Requiring the use of CTRL+ALT+DELETE
increases security and helps to thwart certain Trojan horse programs.
