If you make a mistake after 2 tries, it prevents log on for a certain period. So you could set a thresh hold of 2 for the amount of mistakes before secure log on kicks in.

CTRL-ALT-DEL helps prevent malicious applications from stealing account information and rude persons from trying to guess your password and log into your account.ДЇor instance, if you are running Windows 7 Professional, Enterprise or Ultimate, you can open gpedit.msc and set a threshold for how many wrong tries until you successfully remember your password to log in. You do not need to be on a Domain to use secure log on. (I was told that NT 3.51 Workstation would not run on a 386, which I rather emphatically disagreed with - and proved it with the AMD NT box.)

Shortly after I built my first exclusively-Windows (no DOS) box (P166 MMX with 32 MB of RAM, and running 95 SR2), I converted the old 95 beta box (AMD386-40 with 16 MB of RAM and a SIIG ISA Master+I/O add-in card) to an NT box - and I did it to settle a bet. UNIX? By and large taller system requirements than even NT, yet handled DOS applications worse than not just OS/2, but NT as well. I was involved with NT almost from the beginning (shortly after NT 3.1 went RTM, in fact) out of sheer curiousity (for one thing, if you didn't run DOS, you had three choices at that time - NT, OS/2, or UNIX) NT had the advantage of all those Windows 3.x applications, but the disadvantage of taller system requirements, OS/2 ran DOS applications better than NT, but had issues with Windows applications.

Mostly because most folks weren't familiar with NT until 2000 Professional (if not XP) if they didn't use computers in a business/government setting. I'm a little surprised that anyone with a Windows background would be unfamiliar with the good ol' 3-fingered salute. No problem, just curious, because i didn't see the connection. Linux, for example, uses alt-sysrq-k as its 'secure attention key'. Of course, if you intercept the interrupt yourself by modifying the IVT (or IDT in protected mode remembering to remap the IRQs), you can do what you like, just like any other key combination.Д®DIT: And just to reinforce that there's nothing special about ctrl-alt-del, different OSs can use different key combinations to accomplish the same thing. The only special handling is that the combination is handled by the BIOS. In real-mode, or using the legacy 8259, there are 16 IRQ lines (15 usable because there are two 'chips' and one line cascades to the other 'chip'). There is no special interrupt for ctrl-alt-del. My apologies for my mistake, I will now kill the tutor who once told me this :pДЄnd of course, this is completely wrong. So it's function is the same, prevent trojans from automated login attempts, however it is not because of a hardware interrupt. Windows handles it in his own way, and the ctr-alt-delete sequence in the login screen has to come from hardware unless group policies tell otherwise.

It is however a software interrupt, which is probably what causes the confusion. The ctr-alt-delete is not a special hardware interrupt, even though many site say it is. Update: You're never too old to admit you're wrong and learn new stuff, so here it is, I was wrong! And i want to rectify this as I hate false information on the net ). And that is why microsoft uses it before the logon screen in corporate environments as it essentially makes it impossible for trojans to try an automated login. This means that software isn't able to send that key combination and fire the interupt. Obviously, those people don't use domains otherwise they would have known that it is a security measure that has always been and will always be a part of windows NT.Д«ut why that key combination? Actually, that's very simple to answer, ctrl-alt-delete is the only key combination that is actually a hardware interupt, way before the win 9x line made it famous to reboot a computer it could already be used to send an interupt which the kernel could afterwards process. So in the supposedly april fools windows logon screen news I see a lot of comments from people that go like 'it must be a joke because it says ctrl-alt-delete to logon'.
