Locking your workstation.
This is a discussion about Locking your workstation. in the Windows Hardware category; Is there anyway to lock your workstation in XP? Control-Alt-Delete just brings up the Task List, and beats me if I can see an option for it. The help still refers to 2K too. Grrr. One more thing while I'm here, I've heard ppl say the performance matches that of 2K, but for me, I find that its quite a lot more sluggish.

Yup got it the first time you posted it thanks. Cool trick. I was talking about the Windows Security window which is what does not show up. I like that it doesn't show up though cause when I C-A-D I go straight to the task manager which I like better anyway.

When I use Win+L, it just locks the station for me. Do you guys have "Require users to press Ctrl+Alt+Del" checked under the advanced tab in User Accounts? I don't know why there would be a difference in presentation between 2 machines using the same version of OS. I would think that if WinXP Pro was not attached to a network (hence being its own domain) it would still have the C-A-D logon/taskman prompt as in every workstation level OS before it.

OP
Thats it!!! under User Accounts, I turned the logon back to the normal one (disabling switching users) and I now get the lock computer dialog!
Thanks clutch!
