Sorry for being off topic here but I need some help please. For some reason my computer automatically logs into the adminstrator account after rebooting and I cannot seem to figure out how to stop this. I have a password assigned to the admin account but it still does this without asking if I want it to. Now, I can log off as admin and it will go straight to the user welcome screen like it used to. Any ideas on how to correct this? Thanks in advance,

Oh, btw, I am using XP Pro SP2

Check your settings of Logon Options in User Accounts under Control Panel. Make sure the Welcome screen is checked.

I am afraid the only thing to do is to reboot using a much bigger boot.[:D]

Try this:

Start then run
Type in control userpasswords2

See if the check box is set for user must enter a password.

Rob,

I did as you asked and the checkbox you refer to is NOT checked. Should it be?

Mike,

It should be checked, otherwise I think the computer will automatically login. I would try checking it and see what happens [:)]
