Does anyone know how to make the password box work! I want to use it but it allows
you to cancel it or 'x' out of it, i want to make sure my PC can't be accessed until
a password is entered. I am the only user profiled on the PC: My OS is ME. Thanks
very much.

That is one of the problems you will encounter with Win95,98,and ME. If you really
need to password protect your computer, you should upgrade your operating system
to either Windows 2000 or Windows XP. The programmers fixed that security issue in
these later Operating Systems.

The only thing you can do (apart from upgrading your OS) is set a screensaver password
so that nobody else can access your pc one the screesaver kicks in. Two downsides
to this though, you have to leave your pc on always (which lots of people do anyway)
and any unauthorised user could just reset the machine and use it once it's rebooted.

Another way is to set a password in the system BIOS
Look here for the keyboard combination to allow you access to your BIOS:
BIOS KEY CODES & BEEP CODES
BOOTDISKETTE RAM:PAGE 1.6 MY DESKTOP NTFS/FAT TABLE NTFS/FAT INFO WINTOP INTEL CPU TESTER
