Hi,

Simply go into Control Panel and the User Accounts.
Makle sure you have a user account for both you and your
wife. MAKE SURE YOU ARE LOGGED ON AS ADMINISTRATOR - try
logging on in safe mode and then performing steps below)

If each account has no password then you will see a
picture for each account when you start the computer and
clicking on the relevant picture will log that user in.

If each user has a password then when you click on the
picture you will be prompted to enter your passsword.

Regards,

Tim
