How to Disable Ctrl+alt+del ?



This might be little old thing but I think that still many people would like to know about it. So let me try to put it across to you all guys.

     To the people who don't know the history about the Ctrl+alt+del ,This keyboard combination was implemented by David Bradley, a designer of the original IBM PC.

Bradley originally designed Control-Alt-Escape to trigger a soft reboot, but he found it was too easy to bump the left side of the keyboard and reboot the computer accidentally. He switched the key combination to Control-Alt-Delete, a combination that was impossible to press with just one hand (this is not true of later keyboards, such as the 102-key PC/AT keyboard or the Maltron keyboard).

     As a security feature of Windows NT based operating systems (NT 4, Windows 2000, Windows XP as a domain member or under certain settings and Windows Server 2003) you are required to press Ctrl-ALT-DEL before being prompted for a user name and password at log-in.  Personally I don’t like the feature but some people do, so I'll show you how to disable it, but don’t be afraid, this will not auto-login for you, it will only disable the Ctrl-ALT-DEL prompt and jump right to the login screen.

Below are the steps
1)   Go to start and click run
2)   Type gpedit.msc and press enter, this will open Group Policy object Editor
3)   Click on “+” sign on Windows Setting tab at the left panel.
4)   Under Windows Setting  -> click Security Settings -> local Policies  -> Security Options
5)   Click on the security Options and you will see list of Policies and its security settings on the right panel of the window.
6)   Find “Interactive logon: Do not require CTRL+ALT+DEL” from the list on right panel and double click on it and change the selection from Disable to Enable then click apply and then ok.

Voila you are done !!!


Cheers,
All the Best ..... :)
