Hi,

i have XP SP2 installed on a laptop at home,
it was a version i downloaded (XP BLack) however i wanted to set a
password on the pc so that only i have access to it,

so i went to user account in the CP and set a password on the admin
a/c,
i also ensure that the guest a/c was turned off,

then i restarted,

however it did not prompt me for pw at loadup,
instead everytime its booted it logs straight into the admin ac without
any pw's being entered,

if i logout or click switch user i do get promted for a pw upon
entering,
however this isnt really helpfull if all people have to do is click
restart to get onto the pc,

i've had a look around but cant see a solution to this if anyone has
any ideas it would be great,

thanks a million,

sisco.
