How do you turn off the automatic administrator screen after turning on computer ?

[Eugene Pantangco]

I just got my laptop with XP Pro. I set up 3 user accounts (Administrator,
ME, Guest). I set up PW for ME and Administrator, but when I turn off my
laptop, then restart it again the next time,... the Administrator desktop is
the first screen opening.

-I thought it was supposed to give me a welcome screen so I can pick which
user account I want to use & requires the appropriate PW. It shouldn't just
open up to the Administrator desktop 1st so anyone can have access to my
computer, right ??

- Can someone instruct me how to set up the welcome screen the proper way
asking me (or anyone else) to choose their user account and PW ??

Thanks...

Hi Eugene,
Try going to Start > Run and type in control userpasswords 2. On the User
Accounts window that opens is 'users must enter a username and password to
use this computer' checked? If it isn't put a tick in that box and apply the
setting, next time you start your machine you should see the welcome screen
rather than automatically logon.
