Account Password2

[pat crouch]

Sorry folks, I gave duff info (its not actually my problem, its my sons pc)

He has the media version of windows xp

When he creates an account, when he re boots, it goes straight to windows,
wheather he adds a password or not, it just boots up without the account
window coming up.

Any ideas? I suspect he has it set up wong somewhere.

HELP!

Cheers

Try this:

1. Click Start - Run - type CONTROL USERPASSWORDS2 and press Enter.
2. Make a check mark on "Users must enter a user name and password to use
this computer.
3. Apply the changes and restart the computer.

Hope this help, let us know!
