This depends on your settings. By Default, CTRL-ALT-DEL brings up Task Manager in a non-domain environment. You can get around this in XP Pro by going to Start, Run and entering GPEDIT.MSC Go to: Computer Configuration, Windows Settings, Security Settings, Local Policies, Security Options. Locate the entry for Interactive Logon: Do not require CTRL-ALT-DEL. Double click this entry and set it Disabled. Enabled doesn't require CTRL-ALT-DEL, nor does Not Configured.
