Do the following:
Go to Start and click on Run.
Copy and past the following into the Open box.

control userpasswords2

This should open up a dialog titled User Accounts.
On the Users page, put a check mark in the box next to "Users
must enter a user name and password to use this computer".
Click OK.
Reboot and see if you get the desired results.

Note: If you don't want your daughter going through your stuff
then your account better have a strong password. You might also
want to consider making your files private. This can be done by
right clicking your My Documents folder and clicking on the
Sharing tab.

Good luck
