Q: When I log on to my computer there is a new message to log on to my computer. It says "Press ctrl-alt-delete to log on". Is this part of the new Microsoft updates for Vista or what? Is this something I have to be worried about? - Packer56.
A: For greater security, Vista and Windows 7 can optionally require users to press Ctrl Alt Del at logon. I haven't seen any reports of it turning on spontaneously, with or without a Windows Update. In any case here's how to control it.
The parallel feature in Windows XP was reached by clicking "Change the way users log on or off" in the User Accounts applet from Control Panel. In Vista and Windows 7 it's in a completely different location. Click the Start orb and launch NETPLWIZ (you can also click Start, click Run, and enter CONTROL USERPASSWORDS2). Click the Advanced tab, un-check the box "Require users to press Ctrl Alt Delete", and click OK. Done! - Neil J. Rubenking.
