Logon prompt query 1

[Jayee]

If a PC uses the "friendly" login prompt where it shows the user name along with a small picture, how do I switch it to use the standard login prompt where you type in the user name and (if set) password ?

I need to do this to log on as Administrator.

I hope you can help me.

in the control panel, select user accounts

Switch to the Advanced tab

At the bottom, check the option relating to secure log on, which requires Ctrl, Alt + Delete to be used in order to log on.

I think that does it, although not 100%!

Also if you don't want to make this change permanent and only need it to log in as Administrator once or periodically, you can press CTRL-ALT-DEL twice at the "friendly" login prompt you mentioned and it will toggle betwen the two login screens.

Hope that made sense.
