Okay I found out how to get the ctrl-alt-del for the logon, but with xp/2000
you would then be prompted to enter your user ID and password. with vista
you get to choose from a list of users. I don't want a list of users shown.
I want users to have to enter a user ID and pw. how can I set vista to do
that?

You did not mention which edition you have so the easiest method is to give
you the command line change. Run this command from an elevated command prompt:

reg add HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System\ /v
LogonType /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f

We WANT the list of users, so each user would only have to enter their
password after clicking on their icon at the logon screen. Our Vista machine
is on a domain, so each user has to enter their username like this
('domain'\username) and then their password. How do we get Vista to display
the list of users at the logon screen?
 
On a domain you don't get this functionality. I believe the reason is because
domains can have thousands of users, plus trusting domains, etc.
 
I knew this feature was not available with domains, but like many, I'm
learning Vista hands on. I wanted to confirm that Vista was not "hiding" this
feature from me. Thanks for the confirmation.
