Default 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.

But why would you want to use it if there is only 1 user on the
computer?
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)].

"users

am using TrueSuite Access Manager Fingerprint Software. I have checked
