If I understand you right, you want the user to actually login on the windows boot-up. If you hit enter it will still login, just wont have that user setting with use right.
Well I haven't seen anything like that, you might want to try something like norton utilities or mcafee utilities.
good luck

Tweakui is a free download from Microsoft that provides several custom registry settings (including mandantory login) for win9x systems. I wouldn't be surprised if it would work for WindowsMe as this is an upgrade of the same code.
You might ask MS if this utility will work with ME. Good luck,

I'm not sure about the windows logon, but if it's security your looking for try a system password. When you first boot your machine it will prompt you for a password before you even get to windows. To do this when you first turn on your pc hit a key to enter the bios (delete,f1,f2,f10)one of these keys may get you in, just depends on your system. Once you get in go to security option and there will be a place to enter a password for admin, user or system again depends on the pc. Beware, just don't forget the password or else you can't get into the pc.

good luck

Works for win98. Not sure for ME.
1. run REGEDIT.
2. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Network\Logon
3. Add a DWORD Value named "MustBeValidated"
4. Fill that value by 1
5. Restart

But should your network go down...none of your users can login.
