When the computer starts, XP automatically logs on to the Administrator account. then when i click on log off administrator the logon screen for admin and user comes up.
I do not want XP to automatically log on to the administrator account, but it should give the logon screen only for Admin and User (not for Administrator).

Unless you have a password for an account it will automatically start with that account.
You need to sit down and work out what's going on, make all accounts user the "Welcome Screen" and password protect those account that need be!

During installation i entered the pwd for the administrator.
Then after installation, created 2 accounts 1) Admin and 2) User
All 3 accounts are password protected.
But still when i start xp it automatically logs on to the administrator account.

open regedt32
In the HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon does not have a key called DefaultPassword & AutoAdminLogon. If it does, delete them and then reboot. It should not login.

If you are uncomfortable editing the Registry, download and install TweakUI from Microsoft:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/xppowertoys.mspx
Open TweakUI, and click Group Policy Editor:
Local Computer Policy > Computer Configuration > Administative Templates > System > Logon
There are two switches displayed that might resolve your issue:
Don't display the Getting Started welcome screen at logon
Always use classic logon
The TweakUI interface helps protect you from fatal Registry errors, so I recommend that you use this first, and edit the Registry only as a last resort.
