Check out the post by Sebastian Benitez and my reply to him below. May be a useful trick to put in the kitbag as you start to run into more and more XP machines. Michael Martin Australia "I suspect I will be impressed though, I am easy." - Paul Watson 21/09/2003

That looks like it should do the trick. Local and Global Policies are areas where I rarely tread; I'd never think to look there!:-D Happy New Year, btw! :jig: "Another day done - All targets met; all systems fully operational; all customers satisfied; all staff keen and well motivated; all pigs fed and ready to fly" - Jennie A.

Definitely! But what I need is a better bag of tricks to store these little tidbits in. That's what the MS Knowledge Base is supposed to be for, but it's getting harder and harder to find anything relevant in it.

There is an easy way. I am on a domain so I can't give you the exact wording, but under User Accounts there should be something about changing the way users log on and off. Its the same place you enable/disable fast user switching. Matt Newman If you chose to continue this discussion, I am fully prepared to make you my bitch. I invite you to ask around, and you'll find out that I'm quite capable of doing so - John Simmons on Trolls

Its the same place you enable/disable fast user switching. Thanks Matt, that's the same one I'm talking about when I see the Use the Welcome screen option. The couple of times I have gotten to setup on a computer on a domain it was probabaly one that had a global policy in effect that required the use of Ctrl+Alt+Del. Which is why I never saw the option and didn't know where to find it. From what I have seen so far Sebastian's way seems to be the only one.

Actually a domain computer can't use the welcome screen by adding it to a domain it is automatically turned off.

Can't do it...you need to be part of a domain to get the Ctrl+Alt+Del window to appear.
