Windows XP - Ctrl-Alt-Del

[shurato]

We have 7 computers running XP. All but 1 of them will bring up the task manager right away. Instead it goes to the dialog box for windows security with lock computer, log off, shutdown, change password, task manager, and cancel as options. How do you set it so that it goes straight to the task manager when you press ctrl-alt-del? Thanks.

Is 'Use the Welcome Screen' or 'Use Fast User Switching' set differently on that machine than the others (or is that machine a domain member, while the others or not?)

I agree with bsobel, the option 'use welcome screen' will affect what is shown when pressing ctrl-alt-del so check that out. When welcome screen is turned off then it will display dialog box for windows security

That section to be disabled because of PCAnywhere is installed I think. It says a program is installed that prevents me from accessing that.

Sounds like PCAnywhere has a MS Gina extension that might be doing that (on the other 6). Do as Monkey muppet said is probably your easiest solution.
