You can configure the local security policy in Vista so the Windows Security dialog box will be displayed, requiring all users to press CTRL + ALT + DEL to log on. Users will be prompted to provide a valid username and password to access the computer.
You can configure this option by using the following steps:
- Click Start and click Control Panel.
- Click System and Maintenance, Administrative Tools and then the Local Security Policy.
- Within the console, expand Local Policies.
- Click Security Options. The various security options are displayed in the details pane.
- Scroll through the options and locate Interactive Logon: Do not require CTRL + ALT + DEL.
- Double click the security option.
- Select Disabled to require users to press CTRL + ALT + DEL.
- Click OK.

Hate to say this, but what’s new? Win2K did it in 2000, and it is a recommended procedure whenever teh computer is involved in a network. I really hope Vista can do something better than 2000 (or begrudingly even XP) apart from suck up RAM and dollars and not even in that order. More people will migrate to Apple Mac because of this absolute arrogance by Microsoft.

I apologize for my previous comment, made some months ago. I am no longer an Apple fanboy. Macs are no good, and are only for pompous jerks who like to pretend they know things when they really don’t.
