Windows 7: Removing Prompt for CTRL-ALT-DEL to login
I have my Windows 7 computer setup with a account profile where I have to provide a password to log into the computer, or resume the session after the computer goes to sleep. Since I am the only user on the computer, I hate having to do the “CTRL-ALT-DEL” keystroke to get to the login prompt.
This is a easy fix though. You just have to press the windows key and type in “Local Security Policy”. Then expand “Local Policies” and click on the “Security Options”. You will now see a list of local security options. Go to “Interactive logon: Do not require CTRL+ALT+DEL” and set it to enabled. After you have done this, you will need to restart your computer so the setting will be in effect.
I have found that after some windows updates, or for a reason I still can’t figure out, the setting gets reverted. You might have repeat these steps again and again, as mine keep on getting reset.
