It is more secure. This is because no application can grab the CTRL-ALT-DEL sequence. This allows you to be sure that when you type in your password…you are not typing it into a fake application window

Isn’t this kind of like modding a Yugo? Srsly, nice tip. Still have one Vista machine here, and this works quite nicely.

You can also go to the START menu, type in netplwiz,, and press enter. Go to the advanced tab and check Require users to press CTRL+ALT+DELETE.

there is a much easier way to enable ctrl+alt+delete logon:
- start -> run -> type in “control userpasswords2″
-advanced tab
-check the box at the bottom ‘require users to press ctrl+alt+delete’

this is much safer than fiddling around in the registry, which can be dangerous if you dont know what you are doing…
