Using passwords to log in
Is there any way of setting up my computer so that if a password is not
entered into the "Welcome to Windows" prompt box, an unauthorised user cannot get any further? TIA DK |

Not without making some registry changes since Win Me, like all Win 9x operating systems was not designed as nor intended to be a secure system. Win Me's logon is basically to allow different users on the same machine to have their own personal settings and the like rather than to keep unauthorised users from accessing the machine. However Doug Knox, a Microsoft MVP, has a download that contains a registry file that when applied to the registry does much of what you want. This can be found at http://www.dougknox.com/security/validated.htm. Alternatively, and better, if your PC has a BIOS password, use this. -- Mike Maltby |
