just put %systemroot%\system32\netplWiz.exe into a text file and name it AdvUserCtrl.bat then it is a bat file and you can run it from anywhere without opening anything.

Hmm... not sure about that one. I'll try to find out for you.

How bout editing the ctrl alt del message like you could in previous versions. I know it can be done, as the people who set up our workstatiosn did it, but they made a typo and I need to correct it. Can't seem to locate the msgina dll or equivilent on the local machine. we are running a very basic sbs server setup here, but im rather certain it's a local machine setting still.

Any help? j.vincentadams@gmail.com

Ref post by Nothize... Your a god

It works fine thanks very much.

Just to clarify:

Run Reg Edit - locate "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE" - "Software" - "Microsoft" - "Windows" - "CurrentVersion" - "Policies" - "System" - "dontdisplaylastusername" and change this to "1"

Hail, I've met this problem too and eventually experienced a seemingly terminal approach.

RegEdit -> Locate key HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System

-> change the value of "dontdisplaylastusername" to 1.

Then you won't see the User Picture Icon thing but two textfields instead.

Thanks for all the ideas above!

For Vista Home, it's not much the same as alunj said because there's no "Advanced" thing under UAC! So those commands are still good to remember. :)

Hi all, I am new to this forum and would like to thank the people that have posted so far.

I have run the NetPlWiz.exe and it does allow Ctrl-Alt-Del log on but as Davey said in still brings up the icon log on screen instead of allowing you to fill in the username and password as before, which is what i want it to do.

re: Vista requiring ctrl-alt-del before login

Rob Farley — Sun, 22 Apr 2007 09:47:49 GMT

Yes, I mentioned running NetPlWiz.exe.

I like "control userpasswords2" - that's very cool.

Now, as for going back to the classic mode - I think so, but I'll have to have a look.

Start -> run -> netplWiz (Enter)

re: Vista requiring ctrl-alt-del before login

Davey — Sun, 15 Apr 2007 20:42:16 GMT

Well, that's one relief--but it'd be really nice to see a CTRL-ALT-DEL login box _without_ the User Picture Icon Thing. I'd prefer to just fill in name and password, a la Win2K/XP (and as far back as I can remember). Is there any way to go back to a name-and-password dialogue box and lose the user icons?

Type CONTROL USERPASSWORDS2 as a run command to get the box up!!

Dear Mr Farley, thank you (ever so slightly, mind you!) for posting this handy little trick. I too missed my ALT+CTRL+DEL login screen.

I'm not in a domain, and I couldn't find that either...

Cheers once again.

Rob Farley — Wed, 04 Apr 2007 08:03:23 GMT

Hmm... but my User Accounts page looks like this, and I have no way of reaching that one.

It is because I'm not in a domain?

re: Vista requiring ctrl-alt-del before login

Rocky — Wed, 04 Apr 2007 06:24:34 GMT

Yup, Alun got it.

I was coming back to post the proper way to get to it but discover that Alun posted it already.

It is in the local security policy too. :-)

Local Computer Policy\Computer Configuration\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Local Policies\Security Options\Interactive logon: Do not require CTRL+ALT+DEL

re: Vista requiring ctrl-alt-del before login

Paul Turner — Tue, 03 Apr 2007 00:26:46 GMT

If your machine is on a domain, it automatically shows up.

Hidden? Pshaw!

Control Panel -> User Accounts -> User Accounts -> Manage User Accounts [-> UAC prompt ]-> Advanced

No problem. It's pretty much where it was in previous versions of Windows.
