Hi guys,

I got a problem when I hit the ctrl+alt+delete in winXp, it should show up the nice little box where the option to lock the computer should be here... but all it bring is the task manager... how do I get this nice window? like in NT4 and 2k?

thanks

It is working the way it is designed to work. You are supposed to get the Task Manager. I am not familiar with locking it from there as I haven't run 2K or NT.

It is one of the options on the task manager. 1st button on the left.

what I do mean is the little little windos, with 6 buton (I tink)

the first on left bottom is LOCK COMPUTER, there is on for shut down, reboo, tast menu... other

oh...i had this problem too...to enable it you'll have to go to the users in control panel

then "control how users lockin" and uncheck both "fast user switching" and the "pretty login screen"

that'll fix your problem :)

EDIT: if you just get rid of fast user switching it'll take u to the login screen so its not REALLY locked...

the task manager screen will be back to the way it was in 2000 as well
