Windows PRO works that way. It is part of the security system. At least that is what my lesson text book states.

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.

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? Your Friend Dave
