Ctrl+Alt+Del Option Going To "Security" Automatically?
Jul 12, 2005
When I press ctrl+alt+del instead of going to Task Manager like i want it to,to goes to "Windows Security" is there a way to go straight to task manager like i could before?and while i'm on the subject i have another problem, before my old computer I went it boots up it goes straight into XP without login, now i have to Login but not really.. There is no account and no password. It just says administrator and I click enter (without putting in a password)
When I press Alt + Ctrl + Delete in my office iam getiing an option to lock the windows , but when i do the same in my house i straight away get the task manager. Is there anything that i can do in windows to get that option . I have windows XP OS .
Way for me to change the logon option setting to Ctrl-Alt-Del? In W2K there was an easy checkbox setting in users from the control panel. And upgrading to WXP kept that setting. With WinXP preinstalled in a notebook, the logon screen comes up immediately from power up. I would like to require the intermediate step of manually pressing Ctrl-Alt-Del keys before the logon screen appears. I'm willing to reinstall W2K first and then reinstalling WXP as I also want to replace the existing notebook hdd with another larger capacity drive if I cannot find an acceptable answer soon.
I came back home yesterday night to see my brother (again) bug the hell out of my computer I don't know if he installed something wrong or delete a file or whatever He did something I can't fix myself(I usually fix pc problems myself)Like I said, on the title,Start > run (gone),I can't shutdown my pc without clicking on Logoff.I only have one user account, which is me/admin
I have a samll issue on a friends computer, I don't know if he caused it himself or if something happend on it's own. The operating system is Windows XP Proffessional. When I do Ctrl+Alt+Del it opens the Task Manager instead of the Windows Security window(where you can change password,log out, open the Task Manager ect.)
I'm usually pretty proficient in handling typical squirreliness with my computer but this one's a tough one for me to wrap my mind around. Here's my computer specs:Just recently I'd been gone to work and my girlfriend was at home on the computer.She usually goes on myspace, xanga, facebook a lot and generally doesn't stray far from those activities. I got home and she pointed out the computer was acting weird. When I hit ctrl+alt+del, the screen just gets a light blue sheen over it until I click and then it's gone with no sign of the task manager. Also in firefox I cannot use the ctrl keys. The left ctrl key when pressed immediately makes the font size in the window larger and larger and after 2 or 3 presses opens a new tab in firefox. The right ctrl key yesterday was opening a new tab going to gmail and today is doing a variety of things including going back a page and copying text to pages. I can't use any ctrl key combinations in any software without it doing something strange. In Azureus it opens a file's statistics.
I use Windows XP SP2. Recently noticed that when I left-click on any of the icons of the Hard-disk drives and/or Devices with Removable Storage within 'My Computer', the 'Search' Option opens up by default instead of the 'Open' option, like in other folders. Likewise, when I right-click on the said icons, the 'Search' option is topmost & the 'Open' option has been relegated to second position. I would like the Search option to come first. Can't remember whether this was so from before or changed recently. I have used Norton Partition Magic 8 recently to resize my partitions.
Its making these icons appear that are either porn or these downloads to those trojan spyware things. There are two icons where the time is, a yellow yield sign and the red x and they just lead me to more of those sites, can someone help me get rid of them?
There are suddenly no options listed under the "Manage security settings for:" heading, just blank space, so I have no way to edit my Firewall, Antivirus or Windows Update settings from the Center. I opened services.msc and it shows the service started automatically.
I've forgotten but in a new install of XP-Pro,SP2 using NTFS on C: I don't have the Security Tab when I right click on a folder to setup sharing. I want this so I can set Permissions, etc. I have it on my other PC set up the same way but for some reason I don't on this new install.
What am I doing wrong? My username is a member of the Andministrators group.
I haven't been to this site for a while and I noticed I'm getting Security Warnings that my security settings has blocked of an ActiveX install. I know how to change those settings, but am reluctant to do so. Can anyone shed some light on this. I occasionally will get similar warnings on other sites, but it is consistant on this one. Once in a while IE6 will hang up on this and I'll have to got to Ctrl+Alt+Delete to get out of it.
My Windows Secuirty Centre is still detecting an old AV program as up-to-date and active even though its no longer installed... same with the firewall is there any way of resetting the security centre or where in the registry can i find the entrys to modify?
many of the security holes found in software (especially Microsoft Windows) might have been deliberately put there as back doors into our computers for easy access by our governments. I guess my question is this.Will total, absolute, 100% security ever be possible or will our government always demand a back door in? It just seems that if any back door exists, it will eventually be discovered and exploited.
I do not show the Security Center Icon in the Control Panel. I can go to the Security Center by going to All Programs, Accessories, System Tool, route. How can I add Security Center to Control Panel?
the colors in my Security Center have changed. First I thought it was a problen with the windowblinds skin I was using but I don't think it is. Could it be the WB program itself? I didn't have this problem (fresh OS install) until after I installed a few things, WB, avast, zonealarm, and uninstalled antivis.
While building up a new computer I go into Security Center to make some configuration changes. The resource "Change the way Security Center alerts me" is available at this time. Some time later during the building process I go back into Security Center and find that resource is no longer available. It is greyed out.
I have a weird problem that has never happened to me before. I can not get anything to pop up when I press Ctrl-Alt-Delete to look at my running process.
I have a Win XP Pro O/S . I can't seem to log on. When I press Ctrl-Alt-Delete the usual "log on to Windows" window pops up, I then type in the user name and password - at this point Windows seems to recognize me but then logs me off after a few seconds.
My laptop (windows XP pro) prompts me on start up to press ctlr+alt+del before it allows me to put my username and password to access windows. Now when i press ctrl-alt-del nothing happens so i cant get to the box to enter my log on details and get into windows... This is what I have tried
1. different ctrl-alt-del methods (only one del button so i am assuming that del is broken) 2. plugged in USB keyboard but it wont work (there are no PS2 ports on laptop to use either). I am guessing since windows isnt initiated then USB ports wont respond 4. booting in Safe mode doesnt bypass the ctrl-alt-del screen 5. tried installing a new laptop keyboard but too difficult to get out 6. tried XP recovery but i cant press numbers to select 1:Windows XP so im guessin the number keys dont work either
I'd like to map the key combination Control-D to quit cmd.
Does anyone know how to define what key combinations do in cmd?
For example Control-C kills the current program in cmd and returns the prompt, so where is this defined and how can I map other key combinations to things like quitting out of cmd?
I am having a problem with ctrl alt del. whenever i hit it.nothing comes up. Thats my problem...it used to be fine, than tha border with all tha sub locations went..and i was stuck on tha processes section...and now it wont come up anymore.I have a feeling i have alot of trojans that are messing with my system settings. i mean i dont even have a background anymore because its a blue error message saying i got a trojan.
I have a few computers obtained from an auction. The were used in a hospital and have the ctrl alt delete log in to get on the computers(Win XP). Is there a way to remove this short of reformatting.
I have not tested this with any version of Windows XP besides XP Pro. It might work in Home Edition or other versions.If you do this, then you will get the "Press Ctrl-Alt-Delete to begin" box when you turn on your computer, before it asks for your username and password. It also asks for you to press Ctrl-Alt-Del before you can unlock your computer if you lock it. This is done by default in Windows 2000 Server or Windows Server 2003.
I have Lenovo Thinkpad T60 and i just installed [COLOR=blue ! important][COLOR=blue ! important]Windows [COLOR=blue ! important]XP[/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR] that i get from Lenovo factory, and every time i log in XP i need to press CTRL+ALT+DELETE and after that it ask my finger and password, how i can disable that CTRL+ALT+DELETE asking?

User has XP Pro. Log on keeps looping around. User is able to put in credentials, log on screen goes away, then reappears empty. User has to do Shut down/Restart to clear, is then able to put in cred and log on completes.
Last night I started getting a pop-up box during boot-up that stated something like "press Ctrl, Alt, Delete to boot, computer is locked up." Doing this command "unlocks" the computer and then another window pops-up asking for the user name and password. After doing that chore, the computer boots-up normally.Doing a Google on this problem.
