Default Windows 98SE logon

Hi - sorry to sound like such a dummy, but I bought my
computer second hand and Windows isn't set to require a
username or password to start up. I would like to set it
where it would, for privacy reasons and to protect my
programs. For the life of me, I can't figure out how... :-
(
If someone could please tell me, I would VERY much
appreciate it!
Thanks!
Cindy

Go to http://www.dougknox.com/ and check out his "MustBeValidated" setting
in the Security section of his website. Be sure you read the caution
notices very carefully.
