CTRL+ALT+DELETE

Hi Like in Windows XP you press CTRL+ALT+DELETE and find where the user is
logged into either local system or domain, is there a way in Vista to do teh
same?

Sudhir,

Domain drop-down list is gone, but you can get Vista's CTRL+ALT+DELETE logon
screen implementation same way you get it on XP:

- Join Windows domain
OR
- Open User Accounts applet and select "Require users to press
Ctrl+Alt+Delete"

To open User Accounts applet, press "Windows key" + R, type "control
userpasswords2" without quotes and press Enter

Re: CTRL+ALT+DELETE

Thanks Alex

But i have one more question

Like in Windows XP while working if we press CRTL+ALT+DELETE we could find
out where the user is logged into either domain or local computer.
How is it possible in Vista other than using the switch user option?

Thanks in advance

Re: CTRL+ALT+DELETE

Well, as a cmd junkie what I usually do is open command prompt and use
"whoami" command without quotes.

whoami.exe is builtin in Vista and is part of Support Tools / Resource Kit
for earlier versions of Windows.
