Locking a windows xp pro pc

[Bernard George]

My four year old son has taken great delight in turning off the pc's in our
house using the mouse. I have put a password on the main pc from the
display properties sheet, when the pc resumes from screen saver the only
option you have is to enter your password. On the other two pc's they
resume to the welcome screen where you also have the option to turn off the
pc. How can I make them all like the 1st where the only option is to enter
a password.

Hi Bernard,

Control Panel/Users/"Change the way users logon and logoff", enable the
welcome screen.

Go to Control Panel/User Accounts and select "Change the way users log on or
off", remove the check marks from the "Use the welcome screen" and "Fast
user switching" options.
