XP startup
I currently have my computer setup to automatically logon to the
administrator account at startup. Unfortunately I don't remember how I did this or how to undo this. I'd like to make it so that whenever the computer's started up, it prompts for a password before loading my personal settings or another user account. I have XP Home. Any help would be appreciated. |

If this account gets corrupted, the ONLY way to access your machine is through a repair install of XP. Create a user account, give it Admin rights and use that for day to day use. Save the built-in administrator account for emergencies, of which there may be some! -- Interim Systems and Management Accounting Gordon Burgess-Parker Director www.gbpcomputing.co.uk |
