Help in Xp Pro......

[stevens]

I just installed Xp pro on my computer and i am using the admin acount when ever i log in. When ever i press conrtol alt delete to force quit (like in win98) at first i would get the normal thing that shows what programs are running and i could close them and things like that but now all it gives me is a window with the admin acount and an option to disconnect myself or log myself out. It is very annoying because when i forget and press cont alt del i either have to log out to fix stuff and it restarts my session. Is there any way to get if back to the first way were i can quit programs and things like that? Is it becuase i am using the admin acount and should i just make a different account?

yes, turn on fast user switching. With fast user switching on when you press ctrl+alt+del it will bring up taskmanager, with fast user switching off it brings up the windows security dialog.

you can turn it on/off from the user accounts area in the control panel.
