myself. They both are paswords protected and have admin
right. Mine logon passwords keeps expiring after 30 or 45
days. How do I remove the expire option. My wife never has
this problem.

Thanks for your help,

Windows XP
Prevent Password Expiration

Windows XP may notify you at log-on that your password will expire in a
number of days and ask whether you want to change it now. This behavior
can start months after your initial installation of Windows XP. Its
purpose is to help enforce password policies in a business environment,
but if you don't need that enforcement, it can be very annoying.

To turn off the warning, go to the Control Panel and launch the
Administrative Tools. If you happen to be using the Category view, look
under Performance and Maintenance. Next, launch the Local Security
Policy applet. In the left tree, double-click on Account Policies and
then select Password Policy. Find the item titled Maximum Password Age
in the right-hand pane and double-click on it. If you set this value to
0, your passwords will never expire.
