Boot Camp Special Report: Use of Control-Alt-Delete
Some Windows XP network setups require use of the Control-Alt-Delete command to login. However, this keyboard combination does not work natively on Apple keyboards because the "Delete" key is mapped to the "Backspace" function. Attaching an external USB keyboard with appropriate keys (separate "backspace" and "delete" keys) should allow the command to work properly.
MacFixit reader Ed Coye writes:
"I have installed Windows XP without a glitch. However, when I set it up to connect to our network domain and rebooted, I was presented with the CTRL-ALT-Delete security screen. Problem is, I can't type CTRL-ALT-Delete. Workaround, use an external keyboard."
Solution: You can use the keyboard combination Control Shift Escape as a substitute for Control Alt Delete on Mac keyboards under Windows XP.
