I was given a Dell precision 340 computer with XP Professional on it, but it has an unusual start-up sequence I want to change to the regular boot-up.

The boot-up items I wish to get out of the boot-up sequence as follows:

[1] the need to use Alt-Del-Control on boot-up.

[2] the need to respond to a windows name and password dialogue box.

Assistance needed to know which items in the Administrative Control Panel in Control Panel.

To Enable or Disable the CTRL+ALT+DELETE Sequence

1. Click Start, click Control Panel, and then click User Accounts.
2. Click the Advanced tab.
3. In the "Secure logon" section, select or clear the "Require users to press Ctrl+Alt+Delete" check box.

I cant seem to remember about how to change the login other than this. I will search for more info.

Hi SRX660

The version of XP on the unit is slightly different than the one you gave me the solution for, but you got me pointed in the right direction and I hve solved the problem. Here is how I solved it:

1) Went to User Account

2) then to Change Way User Log On or Off

3) then checked the Use The Welcome Screen

This eliminated both items and my problem was over.

Thanks once more for pointing me in the right direction.
