Logging In to WindowsXP
The ThinkPad’s operating system is Windows XP Pro, which allows
users many ways to log on to the computer. To ensure you have
access to all the network and local resources you need, make sure
you always log on to the DEACNET domain, using your network login
and password EVEN IF YOU ARE NOT ON CAMPUS. If you try to log on
to anything other than DEACNET, you may experience
problems, including the inability to log in at all, or the inability
to access some resources.
Using Ctrl-Alt-Del in Windows XP
By pressing the Ctrl-Alt-Del keys on the ThinkPad, you can:
Lock Computer: This option blocks access to the ThinkPad by
others until you log in again.
Log Off: Logs the current user off the ThinkPad and prompts
for a new user to log on to the ThinkPad.
Shut Down: Closes all applications and turns off
the ThinkPad.
Change Password: Prompts the user to re-enter
their current
password and enter the new password twice before completing the procedure.
NOTE: Password changes can take up to an hour to reach all WFU systems.
Task Manager: Shows all
programs currently running and their status. Can be used to
terminate an application.
Cancel: Closes the window launched by Ctrl-Alt-Del
without making any changes.
