Re: No login prompt

I have been following 'Access 2002/2003 Security Step by Step' to secure
database. I did the same again and used wizard. I followed Steps 16 through
32 ( I didn't do Steps 1 through 15 as I didn't want a different username
from my Windows username). Except in Step 24, I did assign a few permissions
to users.
I observed that after I click on 'Finish' in wizard, it takes an unusually
long time to show the One Step Security Wizard. In the report, it lists
Groups ( I didn't create any new groups so it shows only the defaults: Admins
and Users) and the users in each of these 2 groups ( It shows the new users
that I created here but doesn't include admin in the group of Users). It also
lists Users as a separate category and the groups that they belong to. Here
it doesn't show the new users that I created.
The wizard did create a shortcut though which prompts for username and
password which on being inputted opens the database. But the problem is still
there: I am able to open my mdb file by just double clicking on it.
I realize that I had set the password to Admin account in system.mdw only as
a test step and not as a part of recommended steps but thats the only thing
that I did additionally last time. Please advise me from here...
