Windows XP Operating System Help

[Geforce10000]

I share my home computer with several others, so I created several user accounts. When I turn my computer on, it automatically skips the welcome page and loads the administrators account. By the way, I am not in safe mode. This is not a huge problem, it's just very very 😕annoying. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

Have you swept it for viruses and spyware?

When the computer boots up and you get to the desktop go to start, run, type in "control userpasswords" (without quotes), you should get a user accounts screen check mark the box that says users must enter a username and password to use this computer. Click ok and reboot, when it reboots it should take to you the login screen.

I chekced for viruses and spyware, and I have several anti-spyware programs so I don't think that is the problem. Under the user names "change the way users log on or off", I check marked the "Use Welcome Screen" and "Use Fast User Switching". Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks.

See my original post. Have you tried that yet?

^ agreed

No idea how it could have happened, but check out these registry entries and change the autoadminlogon and forceautologon values to 0.

EDIT:

It's actually control userpasswords2 , you just forgot the 2.

Thanks a lot for your help. By the way pikachu I tried your command but it gave me a different window than the one you were explaining which is actually userpasswords2 according guild. But, thanks for your help, you fixed my problem.🙂
