WinXp Administrator Automatically Logging In

[Guest]

Greetings,

I've not had this problems with other loads/systems of WinXPpro but it is
happening on this system. When I boot the system in automatically logs in
with the Administrator Account... (Start Menu show Administrator). There are
other User Accounts on the System and I would prefer arriving at the Welcome
Screen OR the Classic Login Screen BUT NOT automatically become the
Administrator, how can this be fixed?

Thanx,
Keith

Hi Keith,

To correct:

1. Go to Start/Run and type in: control userpasswords2 and press ok.

2. On the Users tab, left click your user name then click the Users Must
Enter A User Name And Password To Use This Computer check box and then click
OK.

Tip:

Add Control UserPasswords2 to the Control Panel (Line 1)

Start the registry editor and locate the following
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon

There should be a value by the name "AutoAdminLogon" with value set to "1"
Change this to "0"

logoff the current user, restart and see if the issue is solved

Hope this helps
