Hi,

I'm not sure if this is the best place to post, but I'm sure there are a
lot of smart people here that may be able to help me. I work for a company
that has a few CNC machines. The control for the machine that I am having
problems with has Windows NT 4.0 installed on it. Installed on the machine
is also a program to run the machine. We recently moved the machine so
their tech guy came in and said he needed to be administrator to check and
update the hard drives. So, I logged him on as local administrator. Now
that he is gone I am trying to log out administrator and log back in as just
the user I had setup in the domain. I tried going to the Start button/Shut
Down/Restart Computer, but the computer just restarts and logs in without
asking for a user name and password. Am I missing something easy? I am
used to XP workstations, but I thought NT also asked for a username and
password at start-up. Can anyone help? Thanks in advance!!

Mike

Sounds like the autologon feature is turned on. Hold down the
shift key as Windows NT is starting up then look at the following
MS KB article for details on how to turn off the feature:
