Hi all

I just installed WINXP
On the login screen - when I click my name / icon - Windows is shown.
How do I make the login screen ask for a password when I click my name?

If you already have a password assigned, use a different method.

Start, Run and enter CONTROL USERPASSWORDS2 Check the box users must enter a username and password.
