hi! becky, your problem is a big problem if its that so.. First, i think
anyone can login to your pc because you enabled the Guest account, but there
is none(as far has i know) that you can login without putting any Username,
even the Guest account have to be put a Username info to login with a blank
password. just go to Control Panel and access the User Accounts and try to
disable the Guest and check for any user account that is created.
Second, if you enabled also the remote access to your pc if its on a network
or internet(but i think it is not).
Third, is your FAT partition is FAT32 or NTFS, if its a FAT32 then its a
problem because its has no security like NTFS, it must be NTFS to fully
control the user that access to your pc. hope this will help.... and last
before i forgot, the Ctr-Alt-Del or Alt-Ctr-Del is only working if you are
using the Welcome Screen and not the Classic Login, you used only the
Ctr-Alt-Del by doing it 2 times to access or login as Administrator that is
the default account that you created while your installing WINXP, because by
default, Administrator account does not appear in the Welcome Screen. the
Ctr-Alt-Del will not function if you are using the Classic Login Screen. try
posting if you have a problem ok!
