Re: Is this possible, if so how?!

In group policy, it's under Computer Configuration -> Windows Settings ->
Security Settings -> Local Policies -> Security Options. It's called
"Interactive Logon - Do not require CTRL+ALT+DEL. This will effect regular
logon as well, not just from screen saver.

Pressing the 3-finger salute disables user mode programs, so supposedly if
you leave it enabled, key loggers can't read the password, and with it
disabled, they can.

Hello all,

I would like to disable the requirement for a user having to press
ctrl-alt-del to unlock their workstation when the screen saver kicks in.
Although I would still like the users to have screen savers. Is this
possible
through Group policy?? If so, how do i do it?!?!

Many thanks in advance

Ross
