I've set up multiple users on an XP station and all have their own passowrds. The problem is XP automatically logs in to the administrator account at startup. (I'm suspecting the problem lies within the registry in the winlogon area.) I need your help in solving this one. Thank you very much.

If you don't want to force CRL ALT DEL, remove autologon here.
Login with admin privileges.

1. Click Start, and then click Run.
2. In the Open box, type control userpasswords2, and then click OK.
3. Check the "Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer" check box, and then click Apply.

You must specify passwords, expecially for the admin account.
