Require Secure Logon (Windows XP Pro and Windows 2000 only)

Computer Repair and Consulting Service TIPS

To protect Windows from intruders, you can configure Windows so that it requires the Control, Alt, and Delete keys to be pressed simultaneously before a password can be entered.

For Windows XP Professional Edition
1. Click the Start button in the lower-left corner of Windows.
2. Click the Control Panel. (If you don’t see this option, then your Start menu is in classic mode. In that case, click Settings, and then select the Control Panel.)
3. If the Control Panel is in category view, click the User Accounts category. If the Control Panel is in classic view, simply double-click the User Accounts icon.
4. A window opens. Click the Advanced tab.
5. Under the Secure Logon heading, put a checkmark in the Require users to press Ctrl+Alt+Delete box.
6. Click Apply.
7. Click OK.

Note To use this feature, your Windows XP account must have administrative privileges and your computer must be part of a network domain (usually domains are found in offices or other business settings).
