Windows XP pro - question on boot account

[Fahtrim]

I am set up with a Linksys hardwired 100mps network at home with 2 computers. I just upgraded to Windows XP pro on my main computer. When I boot up it goes straight into the Administrator account and bypasses the welcome screen. I would like this to either boot straight to the "Us" account or boot to the welcome screen.

Anyone have any pointers on what I need to look for. I have 'Use Welcome Screen' enabled in the control panel and have a password on the administrator account. I also have another account set up as an administrator.

Thanks.

I am not sitting in front of my Windows XP machine at the moment, but I think there is a checkbox to select "Users must log on" or something to that effect in the Users Control Panel applet. I don't remember for sure, and can check when I get home from work if this doesn't help.

I'm pretty sure that I have that checked already.

Try this:

Select Run from the Start Menu, type control userpasswords2, and click Ok

The option to require a username and password should be checked. Also both your admin account and the 'Us" account you refer to should have passwords.

This appears to have worked. Thanks. Now I boot to the sign on screen.
