Hello:
If you are on a domain there are better ways but I don't think you are. What you can do is if you are administrator, make the other accounts 'limited' and when you set up your password on the administrator account do not have the 'password hint' available. I'm finding with my clients that their kids are getting in because they have a password hint enabled. Get yourself a good password that is a minimum of 8 characters and is a combination of letters and numbers, put that into place. Depending on who and how you set up your computer if a person was to take it into safe mode, that administrator should also require a password. I find that if I get a computer and it's password protected I can get past it by going into safe mode as administrator then changing the passwords. I have my XP manual here (it's been nearly 3 years since I went for my MCP and at work we use a domain so passwords are kept different) I can check to see what else is available. I do know one of the first things stated in the book is that XP is not very secure. I'm sure once Mobo gets back he'll have other ideas too.
**Well silly me, I just read 700's article and it states just what I did above. XP is not very secure, but it seems to me there was something else in that xp book, I will look
(a little bit later on) Here is a good article
