    I have set an automatic task to run on my machine. I am using XP and whenever I press cntrl+alt+delete the task manager pops up. I need to be able to press cntrl+alt+delete and the Windows Security window pops up so I can lock my computer. That way my automatic task will run.

    How can I change this?

    Thanks for any help!

    How about pressing and holding the windows key and pressing L (case doesn't matter)? That locks it without lots of extra keystrokes needed.

    For the "ctrl + alt + delete" way, go into user accounts in control panel and click on "change the way users log on or off ". Disable "welcome screen" (Note: this will replace the login welcome screen with a user name and password box)
    When logged on, pressing "ctrl + alt + delete" will bring a small menu which will allow you to lock the computer amongst other things.
