In XP, a password has been created for the administrator and other users BUT does not work. Each time the PC is rebooted, it simply opens directly up to the Desktop without demanding a password. The Screensaver password Does function. Uisng the Help menu, it indicates go to user accounts "advanced" BUT there is not this option in the installation. How does one reset the system to get the "user account advanced" to appear and so be able to get the passwording enabled?

To require a user name and password:Press WindowsKey+R .Type control userpasswords2 in the Open: box and press Enter.Put a check mark in the Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer box.Click OK.Boulder Computer Maven Microsoft Most Valuable Professional
