Not Requiring Ctrl-ALT-DEL at logon
Preface:
As a security feature of Windows NT based operating systems (NT 4, Windows 2000, Windows XP as a domain member or under certain settings and Windows Server 2003) you are required to press Ctrl-ALT-DEL before being prompted for a user name and password at log-in. Personally I like the feature but some people do not, so I'll show you how to disable it :o) Please note: This will not auto-login for you, it will only disable the C-A-D prompt and jump right to the login screen.
Method:
Click Start then Run..
In the Run box type "gpedit.msc"
Under Computer Configuration Click the + next to Windows Settings, then Security Settings, Local Policies then click on Security options
Double click Interactive Logon: Do not require CTRL+ALT+
Disabling the Shut Down Tracker
Preface:
The shut down tracker is used to...well...track the reasons a computer is going for shut down. As a server, a computer should not be shut down or rebooted manually very often, which is why this feature is in place. Some people, however, find it irritating so it can be disabled if you'd like.
Method:
Click Start then Run..
In the Run box type "gpedit.msc"
Click the + sign next to Administrative Templates (the one in Computer Configuration under Local Computer Policy) then click System
Double click Display Shutdown Event Tracker (highlighted above) and select the Disabled radio button and press OK
