I seem to have to opposite problem of everyone else whose
post I have read. I just installed XP, spent two days
updating. I have about five user's identified. All of
the user's work. The issue is, I have one admin account
and everyone else are power users. When the PC is shut
down, and then powered back up, XP automatically loggs
back on with the only administrator account. I obviously
don't was this or else I wouldn't have added the
additional user' as non administrators. This would seem
to me to be a very huge security risk for multi user
machines. The machine is not part of a work group or
domain, so all of the security access must be controlled
locally. I seem to recall during the installation, that
I created a admin account and supplied a password. I
believe this is what is causing this, but can't figure
out how now to stop this. Any help appreciated. I would
remove this account but, too afraid of what problems this
may cause. Thanks!
