you gotta go into the control panel, users, and set tick the box to use the welcome screen

That is how you do it in XP but not Vista. I think you mean to just have the window there with your name and options you can choose. If so I have not found a way to do that yet if it is even possible.

run > control userpasswords2

That has an option for Ctrl+Alt+Delete but it does not do what I think you want to do.

aah, didn't see it was posted in the vista forum. my bad

I'm not sure if that's even possible with Vista, since you can't disable the Welcome Screen anymore.
Just use Ctrl+Shift+Esc if you want to bring up Task Manager directly.

ctrl-alt-delete never brought up task manager.. even in win2000/xp it would bring up a box to lock the computer/restart/task manager,etc..

ctrl-shift-esc has always been the shortcut for taskmanager (in win2k/xp world as well).

True, unless you're using fast user switching with the welcome screen, it then brings up the task manager

details.. details..

I always hated the fast user switching and never used it on XP..

2 ways of doing it now, guess I'll have to get used to it.

Thanks.
