How can I make Windows XP behave like Windows 2000?

The main thing that I'm looking for is the Windows 2000 login screen and Windows 2000 behavior when I press CTRL+ALT+DEL. I know that there's a way to do this, but I can't find the thread (It was a while back) and I've had to reinstall.

Does anyone know how to do this?

If you go into Control Panel-->User Accounts you can choose 'Change the Way users log on and off'. This should sort out the logon screen. You can also put the Classic theme on via Display Properties to remove the XP look

That will take care of the dialog boxes... if you want to require Control + Alt + Delete, then google on "registry +DisableCAD".
