Ctrl-Alt-Del at Startup

[wja777]

Does anyone know how to make xp show the "Press Ctrl-Alt-Del to login" at the start up screen instead of showing the last person who has logged in?

run control userpasswords2

check to require ctrl+alt+del

I think tweakui can clear the last user.

[Midknyte]

you also need to disable the welcome screen from control panel - user accounts (this will kill fast user switching)

didn't see the option to clear last user in the new tweakui. maybe the old one will work. gotta test it.

edit: nope, didn't work.

looks like there is a reg hack to do it.

Thanks Midknyte, I knew there was someone here that would know where to look....

I have run the "control userpasswords2" on both my machines, I have also downloaded the file you linked for me. I will take a look at that for clearing the last user...

Thanks...

Well, the registry hack did not work.

I probably should have mentioned that I am running the latest novel client (required by my employer). I am going to see if it has some type of "clear last user"...

[Midknyte]

not sure how to clear the logon name from novell client. what version is it? you might have to research that specifically if the windows reghack doesn't work.

Well, I have looked through all the different option menus, and can not find an option with-in the client. I am using the latest version for xp.

At least I have the ctrl-alt-del thing fixed.... Thanks for your help....
