    I finally set up my home network and I noticed that when I press Ctrl Alt Del that I get the Task Mgr instead of the normal screen that says lock and everything else. I'm running XP Pro. It's not an issue, but something changed. So whatcha think?

    If you are connected to a Novell domain you get a form with more options such as Lock and change password.

    sounds like you upgraded from win2000 to win xp?

    three-finger-salute has always launched task manager in win xp

    if you want use the lock function, you can hit windows key+L or add a shortcut to "%windir%\system32\rundll32.exe user32.dll, LockWorkStation" which will launch the lock function
