Okay, this is surely an easy fix. I have two computers running Win 7. One has two users and the other has four. On the system with four users a log-in screen appears after boot-up. As expected. The system with just two users, however, just boots up to the administrator account--even though it is password protected--and it doesn't ask for the password. I can log off and then the log-in screen appears with both accounts listed; also, at this point it requires my password. Yet, if I shut down (even if I log off first) and restart, it boots up to the admin account without asking for the password or requireing a log-in. Since I have small children and a pre-teen who loves to meddle, I'd love to have this issue solved. Surely it's a minor setting that I've somehow changed . . .?

Press The Windows Key + R in the run box you type the command "control userpasswords2" Check the option "Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer" Reboot and try agian. Does this resolve your problem? Kind Regards DFTIM me - TWiTTer: @DFTER

Hi, Besides above steps from Daft, you can also try the following steps. 1. After typing above command “Control Userpasswords2” in Search box and pressing Enter, please switch to Advanced tab in “User Accounts” window. 2. Please select the “Require users to press Ctrl+Alt+Delete” option and click OK. Thanks, Novak
