If that box is not available, do you have User Account Control (UAC) turned
off? If so, this could be the problem.
Regardless, this will not help with what you want to do. Checking that box
will simply display the message "Press CTRL+ALT+DEL to log on" on the
Welcome screen when you restart. When you press the keys, it will take you
to the standard Welcome screen.
