Re: Administrator at start up ??

Hi Gerry,

Click start/run, type CONTROL USERPASSWORDS2 and click ok. If you are
logging straight into the administrator account, first enable the line that
requires a user to log on with a username and password. Now, click on your
account in the list and recheck that line. Click apply/ok and follow the
prompts to autolog onto your regular user account rather than the
administrator.
