Greetings...
I had the login screen normally for XP Pro. Then, after an update, it now auto logs into administrator.
How do I get the login screen to appear again each computer start?

Thanks.

 
You should go to control panel and then user accounts and there you can change the way users log on!
 
Start, run, control userpaswords2

On the first page, check the box for "users must enter a username and password to use this computer." This will bring up the autologon box that you can edit.

Click on Advanced.
Check the box at the bottom to enable the security logon.

Note: if you have only the Administrator user there is no reason to prompt for username and password.
