Add a setting to "Require Ctrl+Alt+Del (secure attention key) to login.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_attention_key

"This guarantees that the authentic Windows logon prompt appears, protecting the system from programs that mimic a logon to retrieve password information".

I don't know the registry key off-hand, but its available in the "Advanced" tab, if you run "control userpasswords2".

    This feature was heavily used in Windows NT and Windows 2000 in corporate environments.

    I think this feature should definitely be implemented. It increases security and prevents hacking of accounts.
