I would suggest rebooting the computer in Safe Mode, logging in as
"administrator" and trying the information in the article you have quoted
above.

OR..

Go to the Control Panel.
Select the User Accounts icon.

Now... under the Pick a Task... select the last option
(last green arrow) which is "Change the way users log on
or off". There will be two check boxes. One is "Use the
Welcome Screen". Uncheck this box, and you'll have the
CTRL+ALT+DEL prompt at logon.
