    Switching off xp pro login "ctrl alt del"
    Hi folks
    I hope this is the correct forum area... :confused:
    I have been given a old xp pro desk top unit that is perfect for home use.
    I need to switch off the logging at the start up to return it to its original start up xp state. I have switched from domain to work group in the system/computer name/ network id and I have also changed the settings to not logging on in desktop/properties/screen saver unchecked "on resume password protect". But the darn thing still wants me to log on.
    How do I set the unit to go to the user icons welcome startup page with admin, users and guest??

    Any ideas people??

    Many thanks :)

    Erm, I'm not to sure if this is the think that you are referring about.

    But go in to Control Panel > User Account

    Press on the Advance TAB> and Untick the CTRL+ALT+DEL box below

    Try the following:
    Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Local Security Policy

    From here expand Local Policies and select Security Options. Find the following:

    Interactive logon: Do not require CRTL+ALT+DEL

    Select and display properties with right click and disable this policy.

    Sorry, someone wanted to activate this function. Just enable the policy and CTRL+ALT+DEL will stop on boot up.
