| 505043 | 2006-12-08 01:47:00 | How do I set a password in Windows XP so that everytime I enter the windows xp welcome screen it will prompt me to type a password? Nobody can get inside windows without typing a password? |

If you want to be sure noone can get into your XP machine without a password, you will also have to set a bootup password (in the BIOS) & lock your case shut, or someone could boot off a CD & wipe your password. |

There's a hidden Administrtator's account in Safe Mode that opens everything, passwords or not...that's how I break into friends puters when they forget their passwords...... Besides, it you need to open or read a secured file, no matter what type it is, just e-mail that whole file to yourself and when it arrives, it is opened and unencrypted. |
