Go to Start -> Run and type the following in the Open box and
click OK:

control userpasswords2

On the Users page, put a check next to "Users must enter a user
name and password to use this computer". Click OK and reboot.

Note: On the Advanced tab of User Accounts you'll find a section
titled "Secure Logon" in which you can require users to have to
use the Ctrl + Alt + Del key combination to bring up the Windows
Logon prompt. This will only work if you have disabled the
Welcome screen (in Control Panel -> User Accounts) and are using
the classic logon box.
