I have created a very basic second "login screen" (actually it is just a form that comes up and has no way being removed other than a password input) in vb.net and have it setup to run whenever I log into my user account in Windows XP. When it goes to run it also brings up the folder the application is in. How can I stop the folder from opening when the application runs?

Edit: I found the problem. I needed to take the Application Files folder out of the startup folder.

I might be reluctant to tell you since I'm not sure what your motives might be

My motive is to keep my little brother out of my account. He is able to delete the first password at the WinXP login screen since he has an administrative account, so I use the program I made to keep him out.

That even from his account he has full access to your profile.

After all, you DO have Administrator rights yourself, correct? And, you know THE Administrator password, right? Not just yours... I said THE Administrator account.

Log on as THE Administrator and demote your little brother's account to standard user. Then, change THE Administrator account password to something only you know. Then, log out of THE Administrator account and back onto your account and change the password for it.
