I am running Windows XP Home. I have a standalone laptop, no network.



As of now, anyone can start my computer and get it. Windows XP Home has No
login security! I cannot stop anyone from getting into my computer.



I looked at www.download.com and could not find it.



Is there any security software that prompts for a password for login OR AT
BOOT?



Also - access security software for memory sticks!!!



Thanks!

Under contrill panel go to user accounts and select your account then
select How users log ogn and under thay menu on chceck the boxes next
to use fast user switching, this is for extra security, then go back to
the main screen under users and accounts and highlight your account an
select the link that says create a password. I highly recommend using a
password that A isn't a a word in the english language B using a
password that consists of a complex has of letters and numbers C
recording your chosen password on a peace of paper and putting it in a
safe place D Creating a lost password flopy disc or cd.
