I recently bought a new XP model computer. It automatically log in when I start the computer. How do I stop it from doing this? This is a work computer and I don't want just anyone to be able to turn on my computer and have access to my files.
 
Try this:
1.. Click Start, and then click Run.
2.. In the Open box, type control userpasswords2, and then click OK.
3.. In the dialog box that appears, select the "Users must enter a user
name and password to use this computer" check box, and then click OK.
You will be prompted to log on to Windows every time at startup.
 
If you are using Windows XP in a work group or stand alone, which you must be, I think you can just go to: control panel, click on user accounts, and in there, there is an option to change the way a user logs on.

Look around in there! I'm in a domain, so I'm just going by memory

Good luc
