NT4: Disable Ctrl-Alt-Del at logon?

[modicr]

Is it possible to disable Ctrl-Alt-Del at logon for

Windows NT 4 SP6 workstation?

I believe that if you look in the group policy settings in the mmc under comp config->windows settings->sec settings->local policies->sec options there is a policy to change this...

if you dont have the group policy viewer installed, then its also under the local sec policy mmc in control panel->admin tools->local sec settings->sec settings->local policies->sec options

this reg key should also work:

;Disable CTRL-ALT-DELETE to login
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]
"DisableCAD"=dword:00000001

I think the above only works with 2k/XP a.k.a. NT 5.

Have a look here:

Are you simply looking to disable the CTRL+ALT+DELETE or do you want to enable autologon?

If you want to do an autologon, then the NT4 Resource Kit utility, cfgwiz.exe, will get you what you want.

Otherwise, I don't believe the ability to only the CTRL+ALT+DELETE portion of the Winlogon process became available until Windows 2000.

Cool! Autologon is even better

than just disabling C.A.D.

Thanks for great tip,
