I just was wondering if anyone out there knew how to just bypass the Ctrl+Alt+Del Screen, but keeping the log on screen there. I know you can bypass the inital startup Ctrl+Alt+Del screen on Windows 2000 Professional, but it isn't in the same place in Windows 2000 Server. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I know you can do this on Pro using the "Default User", which logs you on, but I cant find this feature on my Win2K Advance Server machine, so I don't think that you can really do this. I'm sure it has something to do with the security of a system. You might check around Microsoft's site, or look around maybe for a third party tool? I dont know that one exists, or ever will but you might be able to find one. Hope this helps you out.

Thanks for the comment, but I believe you're talking about the automatic log on and that's not what I'm looking for. If I'm wrong please correct me.
Thanks again for your comment.

The Ctrl+Alt+Del is part of the Local Security Policy.

You will need to edit the local policy to not require the Ctrl+Alt+Del to login.

If this Server is part of an OU or a member of an Active Directory, your administrator may have this feature remain on. All OU policies will overwrite any local policies.

Hope this helps.

Good Luck!
