In Server 2008 R2 and below, there was a "Windows Security" option in the Start Menu to access the "Ctrl+Alt"Delete" options without pressing Ctrl+Alt+End. I always found that useful since I often RDP to Windows Servers from my Mac (since I don't have an "End" key on it). Now, with Server 2012 (and R2), I've looked and looked for this the equivalent and cannot find it. Is it still possible to launch the Windows Security Options screen from the Start Screen or a desktop shortcut?

EDIT: Never mind, I found the solution. See my comment.

I was looking for it too in order to change Windows Password.

Found an old VB to force the screen to show. See below:

Set objShell = CreateObject("Shell.Application")

objShell.WindowsSecurity

Save as .vbs and you are all set.
