How to remove CTRL-ALT-DEL from Win2K Server login?

[Dulanic]

I used to know this but I totally forgot how to remove the CTRL-ALT-DEL login feature from Win2K server, its a home PC and Im not worried about it so I want to remove it because its annoying as all heck.

go to control panel->users and passwords->advanced and uncheck "Require users to press ctrl-alt-del..."

Thats what I thought.... but there is no Users and Passwords under control panel.... there was with Win2K Pro... but there isnt under my control panel.

I can't give you this for certain, but it wouldn't suprise me that 2K Server doesn't let you remove Ctrl+Alt+del, I mean the stroke was always for security correct? So, I wouldn't be suprised to find out that you must use it.

I think the only way in server is alittle registry hackin...

go into HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
add the following strings

DefaultUserName
DefaultPassword
DefaultDomainName

and set them to whatever U need them to be... then add one called:
AutoAdminLogon and set it to 1 to enable.

Can you go into administrative tools in the control panel? If so then go to local security settings-->local policies-->security options-->and enable the "disable ctrl+alt+del requirement for logon". I don't have server in front of me but I hope that helps.

Thanks, I tried that once and it didnt work, so when you mentioned it I went back in and checked it... it seems the setting didnt save for some reason. So I set it again logged off and on and now it works.
