Windows Vista Ctrl + Alt + Del on Windows Vista Login Screen

Hi,
I just have a quick question. In Windows XP when the Fast-User switching login screen was switched on, you could press Ctrl+Alt+Del twice, and it would bring up the standard login screen, where you could enter a username and password manually (hence being able to login as an Administrator). I have tried this in Vista, but it does not work. Does anyone know the equivalent (if there is one) of how to do this?

Thanks,
Michael

 

I don't know of a shortcut. Click start and then click on the arrow next to the lock icon and it will give you a menu of items to select from -- takes about the same amount of time as pressing CTRL+ALT+DEL twice

OOPS! think I found it. Try the windows logo key +L ..... look here http://windowshelp.microsoft.com/wi...1d-d780-4c80-8f08-2f48878dc5661033.mspx#ECFAC

Then, again, I am probably wrong

 

Hi,
Thanks for all your help. It's not so much that I want to login as an Administrator, but what you can do on Windows XP is press Ctrl+Del+Del TWICE, and it presents you with the classic login screen, as if you were on a domain. I was wondering how to do this in Vista, but I think I've worked it out. I don't think it actually possible, because of the new 'Interactive Login'.

Any other thoughts would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Michael
