Default Compooter Peepolz

Whenever I do Control + Alt +Delete to try and lock my computer, this comes up:




How can I change it so the standard window to lock the computer comes up?

in users (in cp), go to change the way users log on and off and turn off fast user switching then uncheck use the welcome screen.

i think. mine works the way you want but i dont feel like changing those options back to test.

Success! Thanks Spanks. I have to use ctrl + alt + del at work like 100 times a day at work (mandatory at banks that you lock your workstation if you're out of view of your computer), it's just a habit of using it rather than windows key + L.
