administrator logs in automatically

[Guest]

windows XP professional

every time i start my pc, the computer logs in to the administrator account
i had to disable the built in administrator account. now whenever i start the p
a message comes up that says "your 'the administrator' account had been disabled",
then it goes the welcome screen

i tried everything to avoid logging in as an administrator, disabling it was the onl
solution, but it's still not good enough, i dont want to enable that account every tim
i want to use it

one other thing is that, i dont remember making any changes to make the compute
log in to the administrator account, i usually choose my name from the welcome screen

Dear poster.

Don't disable the Administrator account to try to resolve this. Use these
steps instead:

1. Click Start, and then click Run.

2. In the Open box, type "control userpasswords2" (without the
quotation marks), and then click OK.

3. In the dialog box that appears, check the "Users must enter a user
name and password to use this computer" check box, and then click OK.
