This list of tasks is also available by clicking Start > Programs > Novell SecureLogin > Display Menu. If SecureLogin is running, Display Menu provides an alternative for opening the task bar menu. If SecureLogin isn't running, Display Menu starts SecureLogin. If a new user, who hasn't run SecureLogin yet, clicks Display Menu, SecureLogin prompts the user to set up a passphrase.
