How can I switch my auto login from welcome screen to
prompting for a password. My system is set up as limited
in administrator as a friend set it up and I want to know
how to switch so it prompts for password. Everyone is
logging on and using my computer when I am not here.
Thanks..Lily
 
Did your friend give you your own account, or are you
actually logging on as "administrator"? If you have your
own username, be sure your friend made you part of
the "administrators" group.

Either way, you fix the problem in the "users" section of
the control panel. There are options there to assign
passwords to users, and to "change the way users logon",
that is, either with Ctrl-Alt-Del or the welcome screen.
Actually, the welcome screen is fine once you have
assigned a password to yourself.
