XP startup

[Blair]

I currently have my computer setup to automatically logon to the
administrator account at startup. Unfortunately I don't remember how I did
this or how to undo this. I'd like to make it so that whenever the
computer's started up, it prompts for a password before loading my personal
settings or another user account. I have XP Home. Any help would be
appreciated.

It's not recommended practice to use the built-in administrator account for
day to day use. If this account gets corrupted, the ONLY way to access your
machine is through a repair install of XP. Create a user account, give it
Admin rights and use that for day to day use. Save the built-in
administrator account for emergencies, of which there may be some!

Thanks very much,
