Or you can turn on the password for the syskey. Try this Start>>Run>>syskey
click on update
then select password startup
Put in the password, after that every time the computer starts up you will
need to put in a password. It doesn't matter if there are other users in the
computer.

Be careful I would only choose this if I had a top secret documents (or
