I remember, in many of the computer labs, we are required to press Ctrl+Alt+Del to log on. What could be the reason? Why do we need to do that? Can we do the same for our own system?
The reason is simple. Requiring to press Ctrl+Alt+Del provides an extra layer of security by implementing a bit of 'human touch'.
By requiring users to physically hit Ctrl+Alt+Del to access the log on screen in windows, you ensure that malicious programs (ones that try to mimic a system logon to hack passwords) can’t even make it through the first gate as after pressing Ctrl+Alt+Del only, one will be asked to enter the password.
Fine then, lets do it.( I am doing for windows 7)
Go to start button and then in the search box(search programs and files) type "netplwiz". Click on it as shown below.
Now next time you log in, you will be asked to press Ctrl+Alt+Delete.
