windows login issue

[Michael Y]

i had my laptop formatted (many months ago..) and installed two windows xp. There was is little problem in which, when i power on the laptop and it loads windows, it does not showthe log-in progress. In fact, it totally skipps it and ' automaticaly' enters the default admistrator account . Even if i setted up a password for the admin account, it still does not prompt for user name and password.
This was'nt a problem for me, as hardly any one but brother and I use it.
But now, with christmas and all, my house is often visited by relatives---WHICH means little brat cousins. One of the bastards actually got hold of my laptop and actaully managed delete stuff (maybe he moved the files, i dont know yet...)

Soooo, here i am, asking : How do get rid of them?!

........only joking.....my real question is : How do i fix this login problem?

Do you have "Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer" unchecked?

[Michael Y]

Holy dinggus!! it worked !! Thanks Ray man!!
The thing was unchecked all the time!!

i guess there's a lot of useful little programs in Run.... can you name me some?(just in case i need to use them the future....)

again man, Thank for the help.

You're welcome. Glad it worked for you.

There are many commands you run use at RUN but I can't think of any now :P

Well, I never really used RUN until I joined this site and now i know about :
msconfig , ipconfig (cmd), mrt and the latest addition which you gave me, control userpassword2.

I did do a search and found this site : http://www.fixmyxp.com/content/view/20/42/
