+BeLGaRaTh Subscriber¹ Posted September 16, 2001 Subscriber¹ Share Posted September 16, 2001 Ctrl Panel ... Users and Passwords ... Advanced ... Secure Boot Settings ... TICK requires users to press Ctrl-Alt-Delete before logging on :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sitzmar Posted September 16, 2001 Share Posted September 16, 2001 unfortunately BeLGaRaTh, this doesnt help those of us who use xp. (which i assume is what KR0NiC was asking about) Ive been trying to figure out how to do this as well, and i've come up with nothing yet...

HariSeldon Posted September 17, 2001 Share Posted September 17, 2001 Control Panel, User Accounts, Change the way users log on or off Then uncheck "Use the Welcome Screen" I hope this helps :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sitzmar Posted September 17, 2001 Share Posted September 17, 2001 Well thats weird.... that was the first thing I tried, and while it did require the ctrl-alt-del on login, it didnt work right when locking the computer. Instead of showing the 'This computer has been locked' message, it showed the boxes for the username and password. In addition, the screen saver wouldnt activate this way. There was a similar bug with win2k I believe. Anyways... I tried it again, and now it requires the ctrl-alt-del before you unlock the computer, the way it should be.

configure Veteran Posted September 17, 2001 Veteran Share Posted September 17, 2001 I find pressing CTRL + ALT + DEL really annoying :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Posted September 17, 2001 Share Posted September 17, 2001 Can anyone give a really good explanation of why this is used? The best info I can find says it prevents rogue processes collecting login credentials, but personally I dont see how its stopping this, unless the ctrl-alt-del specifically ends all processes..? Anyone have a good understanding of this? (Trying to workout if anyone really needs to use it in a home environment) Jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KR0NiCBaKeD420 Posted September 17, 2001 Author Share Posted September 17, 2001 i unchecked da "use the welcome screen" box and it still doesnt require me to press ctrl-alt-del .... does anybody else know how to enable this ????? :s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quboid Posted September 17, 2001 Share Posted September 17, 2001 Hehe, you gotta love that screen. Before a steep hill: "Please test your brakes" Before logging into windows: "Please press Ctrl-Alt-Del" Similar reasons methinks ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KR0NiCBaKeD420 Posted September 17, 2001 Author Share Posted September 17, 2001 where at in the group policy?? all i see is 'Ctrl-Alt-Delete Settings' -> remove task manager, removie lock computer, remove change password and remove logoff. and also "Logon Settings" -> run these programs at user logon, do not process the run once list, and do not process the legacy run test. ??? :s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Frost Posted September 17, 2001 Share Posted September 17, 2001 The proper way to get the Ctrl+Alt+Delete for logon is by going to run and type in 'control userpasswords2' without the '' and then goto the Advanced tab of the window that appears and check 'Require users to press Ctrl+Alt+Delete' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Posted September 17, 2001 Share Posted September 17, 2001 I reply to my own question: The reason you would use this is as follows: (Long story short, crappy trojans) Imagine a kid at college (ok ok so its me really, 7yrs ago) , messing around with word macros. He makes a screen that looks quite like the login l/p screen, that logs the l/p to a .txt . He moves all windows into a corner, so there is only 1 pixel showing, and lets the accounts roll in. If a user presses ctrl-alt-delete on this screen, it'd probably end the process / flash a warning / go to the 'windows security' screen. So i guess I could have updated the program to show a ctrl-alt-delete type prompt too. Hm. but the 3 keys wuoldnt close that window nicely, they'd bring up the security manager afaik. That'll be it then. Lame kiddy stylie trojan protection. (Oh and to stop ppl sitting on KB's and making loads of messed up login attempts :p ) Correct me if i'm wrong, but that seems to be the opinion of this win2k deployment team! ;) Jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone have a good understanding of this? (Trying to workout if anyone really needs to use it in a home environment) Jon That's right - it stops script kiddies collecting user name and passwords as, if it was a fake, it would come up with the Windows Security window and display the kiddie's username for everyone to laugh at. It's not really needed in a home enviroment unless you have idiot brothers or something. EDIT: Opps, you've already answered, oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Posted September 18, 2001 Share Posted September 18, 2001 Heh, I could read that as u calling me a ex-script kiddy ;) Script kiddies dont write their own programs tho, they run em! I did forget that the security screen will show whos actually logged in. I agree though, no use in a home environment. Jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lezend Posted September 18, 2001 Share Posted September 18, 2001 Start: Control Panel: User Accounts: -Pick a task... Changes the way users log on or off: Uncheck: Use the Welcome Screen. Use Fast User Switching. This should allow you log onto the computer by ctrl-alt-del. I don't know why you want to do this. It must make you feel special every time you type in your name and password or something. (like a tech/hack wannabe. owwh i gotta log in." I am in!".)

Anyone have a good understanding of this? (Trying to workout if anyone really needs to use it in a home environment) Jon well it was used for/against outside intruders. I believe they could not pres ctr+alt+del on their own (the intruder) computer so they wouldn't be able to log-in externally onto your computer. well nowadays with vnc,netopt,etc my feeling is that this is no longer helpfull because these programs have special functons wich simulate "ctr+alt+del" and so rendering this security useless.
