There may be a GUI way, but this key is it

HKLM,"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon","DisableCAD",65537,0

Which is a REG_DWORD for DisableCAD and set to 0.

Under control Panel-->user accounts-->Change way users log on and off I think

control panel, user accounts, change the way users log on & off.

uncheck use welcome screen

Like I said, I don't know if the GUI does it, but the reg key does (not directed at you usr3rnotfound). Use that as part of an unattended install (the format I used is INF format)

GUI version: Start -> Run... gpedit.msc hit 'Enter' Then navigate to Computer Configuration -> Windows Settings -> Security Settings -> Security Options, and then in the right-hand pane, find "Interactive Login: Do Not Require CTRL+ALT+DEL"

It will probably be set to "Not defined" - you want to change it to "Disabled" to enable the CTRL+ALT+DEL before logging in. Then you can just go to File->Exit to exit out. It should take effect on your next reboot.

Start>Run>regedit>HK_Local_Machine>SOFTWARE>Microsoft>Windows NT>CurrentVersion>Winlogon and open that folder, select Edit and select New>DWORD value and type DisableCAD, then just exit and you now have the CTRL+ALT+DELETE login.

I don't see why this is needed, it does not add security to your login.

Its not needed, i put together a comp for the office and all other machines use this "heightened Security measure", didnt want the new guy to be left out. Just curious, since XP home is without the Group Policy editor, will the regedit work? Just wondering. Btw, thanks for the help, those of you that actually read the question....

Yes, Regedit will work. GPedit? not sure, never tried it (always building Pro machines).
