Windows xp keeps logging in as Admin

[Guest]

I want to setup windows xp so that when it loads, it doesn't load
automatically as admin. I want that option screen to select who to log in
as, how do i do that?

Hi Donkee,

How many user accounts are available in the system?
Are the other accounts password protected?
Did you configure automatic logon previously?

I just reinstalled windows xp and all im trying to do is not let windows
logon automatically as adminitrator. I have set up an account for me and my
father, however everytime i start up my pc, windows logs on automaticaally as
admin and i have to log out all the time to log into my own account and its
quite annoying. The two accounts that I set up aren't password protected. i
think there are 5 accounts available and i used up 2, and no i did not
configure it to logon automatically, it did it all by itself. Thanks

Hi Donkee,

See if this helps:

Click Start, and then click Run. In the Open box, type control
userpasswords2, and then click OK. In the dialog box that appears, enable
Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer check box,
and then click OK.
