XP Logon at startup

[Paul]

I have XP professional and it will not boot to a Log on Screen.
I have set the computer to startup with a welcome screen, but XP just
loads to the administrator desktop without asking for a user or
password.

How do I start-up my computer to be password protected.

It is a stand alone computer.

Thanks,

Paul

Paul,

Set a password for the user account. If that does not help,

Click Start, Run, type "CONTROL USERPASSWORDS2", and then click OK.
Check the option Users must enter a user name and password to use this
computer, and then click OK.

If that still does not work under user advanced tab chk
that useres have to use ctrl-alt-del to logon this will
force xp to halt waiting for the cmd.
