Why you don't use MapPath()??

It all seems so simple when I read this[^] article, but when I attempt to imlement the instructions I find that the screens mentioned don't match what I see.
My computer is a standalone XP box connected to a small home network using Workgroups and not a Domain.
I find no Advanced tab or Secure Logon section of User Accounts as mentioned by the article. What I do see is Change the way users log on or off option with Use the Welcome screen as the only viable option.
Anyone know how I can force Ctrl+Alt+Del as a requirement to reaching the logon screen on my standalone box?

Are you using the simplified file sharing method for security? I've found that this changes the behavior of XP badly, and it's the default setting. If so, disable it and force everyone to use passwords. That might restore the screens you should expect from this article's descriptions. If you already use the traditional username/password logon, then I haven't a clue - maybe a service pack since the article was written has changed something. I have yet to see a XP machine that uses this logon box, though, so it probably isn't something easy to change.

First two things I change on every XP box I touch, doubly so for my own machines. Still not doing as I expect.

To change it so the user id/password box is used is as follows.
Control Panel -> User Accounts -> Change the way users log on or off -> Uncheck Use the Welcome screen
It seems that when I connect an XP machine setup this way to a domain the Ctrl+Alt+Del feature appears. Haven't done it for a few months so am not completely sure my memory serves me well and of course no domain handy to test this on.

The docs I have refer to it explicitly as something that's added when connecting to a domain, but never mention it when discussing a Workgroup. It may be that this is simply not available unless you're part of a domain.

Check out the post by Sebastian Benitez and my reply to him below. May be a useful trick to put in the kitbag as you start to run into more and more XP machines.

Definitely! But what I need is a better bag of tricks to store these little tidbits in. That's what the MS Knowledge Base is supposed to be for, but it's getting harder and harder to find anything relevant in it.

You could try this. But first I have to say that my XP is in spanish, so I will have to translate all I've found to english, which might not be the same as your XP.
Go to Start menu, then to Administration Tools, then click on Local Security Directives or something like that. A window will open. Select Security options from the tree. In the list panel you will see a lot of strings with options. Look for some that says Interactive session init or something like that, it should have a Ctrl+Alt+Del appended to it. Then try setting it to disabled. Because it is negated, I think you should put there disabled, which in turn should activate the Ctrl+Alt+Del in the login screen.

Sebastian, thanks very much for your response. I found the area you were talking about and and have made the change but will have to wait a few hours before I can reboot the machine to test it as I am in the middle of a large download.
I will list the steps I took below to help any other people using the English version of Windows XP find their way through.
- Go to Control Panel
- Double Click Administrative Tools
- Double Click Local Security Policy
- Click the + next to Local Policies
- Click Security Options
- Double Click Interactive logon:Do not require CTRL+ALT+DEL
- Click Disabled
- Click Apply
- Click OK

That looks like it should do the trick. Local and Global Policies are areas where I rarely tread; I'd never think to look there!

Happy to report it did do the trick.

There is an easy way. I am on a domain so I can't give you the exact wording, but under User Accounts there should be something about changing the way users log on and off. Its the same place you enable/disable fast user switching.

Thanks Matt, that's the same one I'm talking about when I see the Use the Welcome screen option. The couple of times I have gotten to setup on a computer on a domain it was probabaly one that had a global policy in effect that required the use of Ctrl+Alt+Del. Which is why I never saw the option and didn't know where to find it. From what I have seen so far Sebastian's way seems to be the only one.

Actually a domain computer can't use the welcome screen by adding it to a domain it is automatically turned off.

Can't do it...you need to be part of a domain to get the Ctrl+Alt+Del window to appear.

Not true, have a look at the Sebastian Benitez reply, he told me how to do it.

hi,
I installed .net on Windows 2000 Server. While Installing i checked that all the options are ticked. but still I am getting this error :
Error while trying to run project: Unable to start debugging on the web server. Server side-error occurred on sending debug HTTP request.
Make sure the server is operating correctly. Verify there are no syntax errors in web.config by doing a Debug.Start Without Debugging. You may also want to refer to the ASP.NET and ATL Server debugging topic in the online documentaion.
Would you like to disable future attempts to debug ASP.NET pages for this project?
Can anyone help me out.

Posting the same question three times will not get you any faster response, nor win any friends here. Don't do it.
Debugging has to be specifically enabled in IIS5.0 - it isn't set up to allow it by default. In IIS Manager (Administrative tools) select the website you want to debug, right-click, and open the Properties dialog. Select the Home Directory tab, then the Configuration button near the bottom. Select the checkbox to enable Server-side script debugging and/or client-side script debugging. This is the basic debugging setting for ASP, and as far as I know, it also affects ASP.Net projects. Before you finish the project, remove the checkmarks, as debugging mode forces IIS to run in single-threaded mode, and will badly affect performance on a production site.
Hope this helps some...

Thanx Roger,
but i have tried all settings possible in IIS, last thing possible was to format the PC and install new instance of OS and .NET did that also. but its not working.
You are right by the way that posting the same question 3 times wont fetch me faster response or friends, sorry for that but i am stuck at this place since around a week now and am not able to find way out. sorry again.
As far as ur resoponse is concerned i did that when got that problem first time only, but its still giving me same error.
Would be really thankful if you can help me out,
Thanks

I don't know that I can help you... I installed the .Net Framework 1.1 on my Win2K Server and never encountered this error. You might find some better sources in the ASP.Net Forum; try searching it for some clues that resemble what you're seeing. Good luck - I know how frustrating it can be to hit a wall with this stuff.
