Secure Log On
Thanks guys. I was only trying to enable the Secure Log On feature as per microsoft's information, perhaps the feature not available on Vista Home Premium.

This is useful only on a domain where you want to hide multiple users on the same computer. It's got nothing to do with domains. You are getting mixed up with the domain style logon screen, like the Win2000 login screen, as opposed to the Welcome Screen type login introduced with XP. You cannot use the Welcome Screen on a domain. The secure login can be used with either type of login screen, as far as I can see, as it is enabled by default on Win2003 which has a domain style login screen, and it is also enabled by default on Win2008, which has a Welcome Screen type login screen by default. It can be used on domains or workgrouped computers. Secure login does not hide the name of the person who last logged in with a domain style login screen. You need to set that is security policy if you want that. Secure login means that you need to type Ctrl+Alt+Del, before you get to the login screen. This is to make sure that it is the genuine login screen you are using, and not some lookalike image on the screen from malicious software that is trying to find out users' login details [similar to a phishing website, or a false front to a cash machine (ATM)].
