Hi there;
I have a question about Windows passwords that I hope someone will
help me out with.
I was trying to set my 'Windows logon' password, and in the control
panel I set-up my password, rebooted, put password in, and it opened
windows fine. However when I reboot anytime, if I 'Cancel' the box
that comes up asking for the password, it just opens Windows anyway
-so what is the point of even having Windows Logon then.
Does anyone know of a way that I can password protect my computer, so
that no one can get to my Windows desktop?
Thanks a mill........ Theresa

Most computers have a provision for putting a password into the BIOS
setup. That password comes up immediately after the computer is
turned on, before Windows ever starts to load, and without the correct
password the computer is totally unusable.

Check your computer's documentation for details about how to go into
the BIOS setup and how to configure the password protection.

Good luck
