Vista - Welcome Screen with all Users?

Welcome Screen with all Users?

I just got my new PC, and when I first turned it on, it automatically logged
in as Administrator. I created a password for "Administrator", and created
another user account "John" and established a password.

Now, whenever I bootup my PC, it automatically tries to login as
Administrator. However, since there is now a password for Administrator, it
stops and says "A password is needed". I then have to click the SWITCH-USER
button to see all of the users.

1. Is there any way that I can turn off the auto-login to Administrator?
2. How do I show the Welcome screen of all users on startup?

Thanks.

Re: Welcome Screen with all Users?

Click Start, type "control userpasswords2" and press Enter
Select "Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer"
Click OK.
