well that is one advantage of the newer windows OS's they require you to press 'cont +alt +del" (contol/alt/delete) to get to log in screen.. and since cont/alt/delete can not be done remotely, (the combo is used because it is in effect a hardware switch, not a software one) no one can get to your log in remotely..>>>


I always assumed it was done to irritate people who have an arm missing....

I can't speak for Windows XP, but at least in Windows 2000 Pro, it does not require one to use C-A-D to login. It offers it as an option, and strongly recommends that one use the option, but it definitely does not require it.
