Using windows me.  I've put my name in as a new user and on startup the

computer correctly asks me for my password.  And when the password is

entered, the computer correctly finishes booting up.


The problem is, if I click on cancel when prompted for the password, the

computer boots up with, I assume, me as a guest, and I still have full access

to the computer.


And this leaves me wondering what's the purpose of setting a username and

password.


What I'd like to do is set a global password.  When the computer boots up it

would say something like "What's the password?"  If the password is not given

the computer is not accessable.


Or another idea is if the username and password is not given then certain

parts of the computer are not accessable.


Or in other words, how do the wife and I keep our 15 year old daughter (and

her friends) out of our personal files without unplugging the computer and

putting it in a 100 plus pound safe?


Help!  Help!
