I want to prevent windows users from accessing my database on SQL server
express 2005

I don't want users to be able to login with SSME on Windows
authentication, only by SQl Server Authentication and only on the sa and
another specific login with the password I have set

For the life of me I can't seem to find how to do this

First of all, if you granted access to any Windows login or groups,
remove these. Second, also revoke access to BUILTIN\Administrators,
which gives permission to all Windows logins that have admin rights
on the machine.
