Why won't my computer boot to require me to enter a password in XP? I

a nasty breakup and need protection. Thanks!!

Put a checkmark in "Users must enter a password..."

You might also want to go to the Advanced tab and put a checkmark in
"Require users to press Ctrl-Alt-Del".

Go to the User Accounts applet in Control Panel and disable Fast User
Switching.

If that doesn't work, then there is something else running on the box
resetting your changes, perhaps put there by the person from whom you
need protection. Either do a clean-install of Windows or take it to a
professional computer repair shop for diagnosis and secure setup. This
will not be your local version of BigStoreUSA.

Malke! This worked!! Thanks so very much. Hopefully I can prevent
further file loss from what he's already stolen. I hate breakups, but
love the help I can get on the net!!
