MessageThat is a security feature which offers added protection from outsiders 
logging onto your computer from a remote location.  Let's face it, we do not 
want un-authorized people tapping in where they do not belong.  Most home users 
do not want to go through the added step, but those of us who are involved in 
networking can appreciate it.

  Our computers at the California Department of Corrections and Rehavilitation 
are started the same way.  As near as I can tell, the only reason is that some 
programmer somewhere decided it would be a good idea to use the 
control-alt-delete combination to get to the password/security screen in 
Windows Intranet systems and get to the Task Manager some other way.  Just 
about any key combination could have been used.


  Take care...

  Is their anyone on this list that has the knowledge as to why you would need 
to use the Control+Alt+Del in order to log in using Version 6.2 with Windows 
XPsp?  The reason I'm questioning this matter it because that how our computer 
at Marriott have been configured which is how they were with Version 5 and 
before.  Considering there are several of our scripts that aren't working 
properly could this have somethis to do with it or not?
