User Logon

Just starting to look at Vista, but one thing that I haven't figured out is
how to change the login. In XP Pro, if you went to user accts in control
panel, you could choose to change the way users log on and log off, that way
it didn't come up with the list of users on the machine, but worked like a
domain login where you had to input your username and password. I can't
figure out how to change this on a stand alone Vista machine. I don't want
the list of users, I just want to hit ctrl-alt-del and get a sign on screen
where I input the username and password. Is this possible, and how/where do
I make this change? Again, it is Vista Ultimate. Thanks for your time.

I'm not sure, but I think you ask for this:
In Start>Run you write:
"control userpasswords2" (without qoutes)
It runs with administratorrights.
The program, it opens, is "C:\Windows\System32\Netplwiz.exe"

Hi Johnnycat,

This will show you how to do the CTRL+ALT+DEL secure logon.

http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/67...ete-logon.html


This will show you how to do the logon with username and password
instead of just selecting a user icon and entering a password.

This looks like the stuff I need, however I cannot get to the sites. Also,
does this only work for the 64 bit version? Where can I get this information?

Hi tkosel,

Yes, it will work for both the 32 bit and 64 bit Vista. Not sure wh
you cannot click on the links to get to the site, but here are th
nonactive links. Just copy them into the address bar in IE7 and remov
the space after http:
