Why won't my computer boot to require me to enter a password in XP? I
have all accounts password protected, even added a boot password in

a nasty breakup and need protection. Thanks!!
Start>Run>control userpasswords2 [enter]

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.

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!!

Glad to hear you got things sorted. Thanks for taking the time to let me know. Take care, now.
