| Guest | Administrator accounts appears to logon automatically I just received my new pc with Vista ultimate. I added a user for myself, but noticed that when the pc booted it automatically logged right into the administrator account without stopping at the welcome screen to ask which user i wanted to be. I figured out how to disable the administrator account and it stops at the welcome screen on boot. The problem is that it tried to login into the administrator account and failed. I then have to use switch user to go to the other account i created. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks! |

| Guest | Re: Administrator accounts appears to logon automatically Hello, press Windows + R and type control userpasswords2 and press Enter. What do you see there? The check box "Users must enter a user name and password..." should be checked. Greetings, P.
