I would like to enable the the CTRL+ALT+DELETE Sequence for Logging On in
Windows XP feature. I searched the Help and Support center for this feature
and the instructions given seem quite simple:

To Enable or Disable the CTRL+ALT+DELETE Sequence
1. Click Start, click Control Panel, and then click User Accounts.
2. Click the Advanced tab.
3. In the Secure logon section, select or clear the Require users to press
Ctrl+Alt+Delete check box.

The only problem is there is no Advanced tab when I go into user accounts in
control panel. Even when I log on as Administrator all I can change is using
welcome screen or fast user switching, neither of which I use. Are these
required to get the Advanced tab that I am looking for?
 
That is because you have XP Home not Pro.

Try this...

[[Use the classic logon screen
To temporarily use the classic logon screen, press CTRL+ALT+DEL two times on
the Welcome logon screen.

To configure Windows XP to use the classic logon and shutdown screens for
every logon session, follow these steps:
1. Click Start, and then click Control Panel.
2. Double-click User Accounts.
3. Click Change the way users log on or off.
4. Clear the Use the Welcome screen check box.
Note If you turn off the Welcome logon screen, you also turn off the Fast
User Switching option.]]

Ok, try this then...

Start | Run | Type: control userpasswords2 | Click OK |
Now click on the Advanced tab | Select: Require users to press
Ctrl+Alt+Delete | Click Apply | Click OK

I do not like to advise users of XP Home to use control userpasswords2 for
anything. ;-)
