Fun Win NT 4.0 question....

[techcoor]

Ok..here's my deal...

I have a laptop running Win NT 4.0. The delete key on the keyboard of the laptop does not work!!! So...i have to connect a keyboard up to the back of the laptop when I want to logon...what a pain http://www.sysopt.com/forum/smile.gif Anyways, anyone know of how to change in Win NT the CTR-ALT-DELETE to something else?? That would save the pain of having to connect a spare keyboard up to the laptop every time I login!

Later..

Simple solution, download TweakUI and install it. There's an option for auto-login, it will automaticly put in your username and password!

It could work if you select a different language for your keyboard? (Although I think those keys are the same everywhere...)

Also you could (only a suggestion) try to take apart your keyboard and exchange to keys.

I had a user have the same problem at work. I called to get a replacement keyboard, and that said that it is actually a bad controller and the motherboard needs to be replaced.
