Is there a program or some setting that whenever my
computer boots up, the user MUST use a password before
they can get to my desktop? The only passwords I can find
are the network passwords & all you have to do is click
cancel & you can bypass the password & still get on my
desktop & all my files.

This would be much easier than trying to set passwords on
each of my programs and some of my programs don't have
that capability so someone could get into them.

Thanks
