[jawsscripts] Re: Control Alt Delete script

I see.  On my machine with XP pro sp2, I just have to hit down-arrow to get
to the password field.

In the original note, it's indicated that {alt+control+delete} doesn't work
in WordPad either.
Another lister indicated that he thought that perhaps you can't script
alt+control+delete for security reasons.
I tried it in a wordpad script and it works fine.  It fires up the Windows
Task manager.

I guess it depends on your window's set up.

Perhaps someone knows how to set windows to not require Alt+control+delete
at logon time.  If so, a script can be created to hit up or down arrow the
right number of times and to type the password.

I know it isn't really smart from a security point of view.  But, I'm lazy
and have a script (in LogonUI.jss) to hit down-arrow one time and enter my
password.  I've attached this script to a key and it works great.

Thanks for your explanation.

Let me see if I can help. 

On Most installations of XP-pro, after startup, you have to press this key
combo before you can enter a user name and password. Windows-NT could
require this as well.

It may be disabled somehow on your machine. I don't know how that would be
done but I do know it can be done.  

HTH.

No, it isn't clear at all.  The statement does not answer my question.

The Control Alt Delete is only used in the pro version not the home version.
Is that clear enough?

Hey Geoff,

How does "it's an xp pro thing not home." answer my questions?

I am using XP Pro.
