Password Protection NOT functioning
In XP, a password has been created for the administrator and other users BUT does not work. Each time the PC is rebooted, it simply opens directly up to the Desktop without demanding a password. The Screensaver password Does function. Uisng the Help menu, it indicates go to user accounts "advanced" BUT there is not this option in the installation. How does one reset the system to get the "user account advanced" to appear and so be able to get the passwording enabled?
