I am using Windows XP Pro and I have 2 accounts on my system: 1) Blake
and 2) the Guest account. "Blake" is an administrator account that is
password protected. However, when I boot into XP, I am never shown a
login screen; my computer simply boots directly into the "Blake"
account without prompting for a password. Why is it doing this and how
can I fix it?

Click on the Start button and type in 'netplwiz'. This will open the
Advanced User Accounts menu
In the Users tab, highlight the account you want to login with, and then
click users must enter a username and password to use this computer'
Click on 'Apply'. A new window will now popup asking you to enter the
password of the account you've just highlighted. Do this, and then click 'Ok'
Click 'Ok' on the Advanced User Accounts menu to finish

I sorry that is for Vista. For XP type this in the run box, control
userpasswords2 and do the same steps listed below.
