Is there a way to tell Window NT 4.0 not to have users press Control Alt Delete to log in. I am looking for a way just to have the login box where they could enter their username and password without having to press this key combination.

Disabling the CTRL+ALT+DELETE sequence creates a "security hole." The CTRL+ALT+DELETE sequence can be read only by Windows, ensuring that the information in the ensuing logon dialog box can be read only by Windows. This can prevent rogue programs from gaining access to the computer.

This is not suported by nt 4, it's possible to do it in w2k though.

The only way that I know of to do this in Windows NT and 2000 is to enable an AutoLogin. The problem with this is that the user will not get prompted for a username or password, it just automatically logs in with the username and password specified when it is setup. I know there are articles on Microsofts site about this. What it wrong with having to press CTRL+ALT+DEL anyway? I know users are picky, but that is crazy.
