Windows XP Pro - Lock Workstation

[sep]

When I'm logged in to a domain, at work, I can ctrl+alt+del to ge the task screen with the options to lock workstation, etc. At home I don't. Can I change something on my pc to get this enabled on my home pc running XP Pro?

Thanks,

Windows key + L

You can disable Fast User Switching, which will give you a "domain-like" login screen.

There's also a Group Policy setting to require a CTRL-ALT-DEL for logins. I *think* it's under Computer Configuration \ Windows Settings \ Security Settings \ Local Policies \ Security Options \ Interactive logon: Do not require CTRL+ALT+DEL. Set it do disabled.

That's odd ... I have XP Home on my Toshiba Laptop .. just tried CTRL+ALT+DEL
it brings up that screen just fine ... I have "use the welcome screen unchecked"

This is the only way I could do it. The others require a domain.

Can't speak to your boxes but windows key +L does not require the machine to be on a domain.
