Displaying the Windows Logon Information Dialog Box

If you're controlling a remote computer that is running a secure Windows operating system, and need to log on, you'll need to open the Logon Information dialog box. It's not possible to do this simply by pressing the CTRL+ALT+DEL keys on your computer. You'll need to follow the steps below.

To display the Windows Logon Information dialog box

  1. Control the remote Windows computer.

  2. Click the system-menu button in the upper left corner of the screen-sharing window and choose Send Ctrl+Alt+Del to Remote Computer.

    The Logon Information dialog box is displayed on the remote computer, allowing you to enter your user name and password.

You don't have to log on to Windows to use Timbuktu Pro with a secure Windows computer. You can exchange files with and send files to a remote computer when the Logon Information dialog box is displayed. Be aware, however, that FlashNote icons (or windows) are not displayed on the Windows system until after you have logged on.

If you do log on to Windows, make sure to log out before you end your Timbuktu Pro session, or other users will not be able to log on.
