bypassing initial window bootup

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.basics (More info?)

Hi,

Did one of you mess with TweakUI and set the autologon?

Otherwise, Click start/run, type "control userpasswords2" (without the
quotes) and click ok. Check the box requiring a username and password, click
apply/ok.

Thanks, I tried what you suggested but it didn't make any difference.
Usually when I've been away from the computer for a while, this screen comes
up and I have to click back on but not now. I have also tried re-starting.
Any thoughts please?

Many thanks
