Windows: Enable Ctrl+Alt+Delete Logon
January 9th, 2010 | 
Author: Explanation (As per Microsoft):
This security setting determines whether pressing CTRL+ALT+DEL is required before a user can log on.
If this policy is enabled on a computer, a user is not required to press CTRL+ALT+DEL to log on. Not having to press CTRL+ALT+DEL leaves users susceptible to attacks that attempt to intercept the users’ passwords. Requiring CTRL+ALT+DEL before users log on ensures that users are communicating by means of a trusted path when entering their passwords.
If this policy is disabled, any user is required to press CTRL+ALT+DEL before logging on to Windows (unless they are using a smart card for Windows logon).
Default:
Disabled on workstations and servers that are joined to a domain.
Enabled on stand-alone workstations.
Steps:
1- Go to Administrative Tools
2- Open Local Security Settings
3- Choose Security Options under Local Policies
4- Double Click on Interactive logon: Do not require CTRL+ALT+DEL
5- Choose Disabled to make CTRL+ALT+DEL logon screen appears by default.
