Hi

when I first set up my windows xp pro machine I took the
option that said assume the same user is going to use the
machine each time. Now, the user base has increased and
I've created some new IDs for the people involved.
However, the machine still automatically logs on using the
original account which has administrator privileges and I
don't know how to stop it. If I log off, I get the
welcome screen which then forces a relevant log in
process - I want that to happen every time. Does anyone
know what I need to do?

Thanks in advance for any responses.

Peter
