Truer words were never spoken! Thanks you big sexy Dragon you!

The one thing I will add is that my other PC with the same operating Sys, XP does not ask for a password at all!?

Meaning, you can still lock your computer or switch user, and in those cases you will need to explicitly provide your password. It might seem more than a little ridiculous, but some people have alot of use for this behavior.

and if I find said computer locked, cannot use, or shall I say misuse it, and I reboot it, and find I have administrator access?

Anyway what I ment was, I want a login password, i don't want auto login.

On topic, i've been using the "down" key with much success!
Thanks heaps Bahamut

Variol: [img]smile.gif[/img] Like some people have said, some PCs don't have a password. So they just automatically log in. If you put a password there, then it will ask for it. You could remove the password and hope it logs on by itself. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Intrepid: Glad to be of help. [img]smile.gif[/img] Don't know any workarounds though about what you really want to accomplish.

Do you randomly reboot locked computers to see how easily you can (ab)use administrator access?
Oh, wait.

Try removing your password, restarting, and then adding your password again...
