Making Windows XP login screen appear on startup?

**Silent** · 11-07-2006, 02:36 PM

Hi guys, I am running WinXP on an Intel-based Mac using Parallels, and I am trying to get the Welcome/Login screen to appear when I boot up the OS, but it won't show up. I have 3 accounts on the computer, all password protected, but when i load it up, it automatically logs into the Admin account, no pass required.

I tried to download Tweak UI but it gave me some DLL error and I couldn't get it working so I trashed it, is there any other programs that would force the login screen to appear on boot up? Or am I just screwed because of Parallels maybe?

start
run
Type: control userpasswords2
Enter
Put a tick in "users must enter a username and password to use this PC"
