hi, I set up a user account with a password and added another user on a pc with xp.

but for some reason when the pc boots it doesnt ask for a login but goes straight into the personal settings of the original user,

Open regedit and go to the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon key, and delete the value ForceAutoLogon if it exists.
