Password no longer required on startup.

All of a sudden, I noticed that my XP Pro system is no longer asking for my
password when I reboot. I didn't make any configuration changes, and I tried
changing the password, but there is no change.

I have my screensaver set to password protect, and that is working normally.
But if I turn the computer off and then restart it later, it starts right up
without ever asking for my password.

Anyone have any ideas?
 
Hi Charlie,
Try this:
1.Click Start/Run and type control userpasswords2 and press Enter
2. Click to select Users must enter user name and password to use this
computer
3.Click OK
