WinXP password
in [Help and Support]
|
From: Jim Cladingboel on 4 Jan 2010 23:03 I recently decided I needed a password to protect XP. As administrator, I went to Ctrl Panel/User Accounts and entered a password and confirmed it. Since then, nothing has changed when I start my WinXP Home/SP3. It's as though I had never made the change. Have I missed something? Thanks, Jim.

From: Jim Cladingboel on 5 Jan 2010 23:21 Many thanks, John. I guessed there was another step needed. Jose. I expected to be asked for a password! Thanks, Jim.
