The FAQ

Can Control Alt Delete be used in a Domain environment?

Yes it can. The System Administrator can copy down the cad_9x.exe file on to the users' workstations and then add entry into the users' login script which will then execute the program when the current user logs in. Alternatively, Control Alt Delete can be housed on the server and the Admin can change the path to the executable cad_9x.exe file via a reg entry in the users login script..

Example

\\server\share\cad_9x.exe

Can Control Alt Delete affect all users logging into the machine?

Yes it can. You can login to each user's Windows User Profile and complete the installation. You can also complete the installation on the Windows Default User Profile (accessed by clicking cancel at the Windows Login screen). This will ensure that all new User Profiles created on the machine will inherit the tweak.

The Uninstall

1. Login to the Windows User Profile that is affected by Control Alt Delete
2. Go to Start/Run
3. Type in regedit and click OK
4. Drill down to:

   HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

5. Right click on the cad string value and select delete from the menu that appears
6. Close regedit
7. Delete the cad_9x.exe file from the c:\windows directory
8. Logoff/on or restart the computer
