How To Turn Off Auto Login?

I've recently upgraded to Windows XP Professional from Windows 2000 Professional, and I had 2000 set to boot right into Windows at startup, when I upgraded to Windows XP, I think it kept this setting, but I don't want XP to boot right into Windows without asking for my login password. I can't seem to figure out how to make it do so, can someone perhaps give me a clue. I'm pretty experienced with Windows XP, just not the login part of it. Thanks in advance.

Send a message via MSN to snowmonkey
In control panel/ Administrative tools/ Local security policy / Security Option / look for interactive login: Do Not require CTRL+ALT+DEL) and set the attribute to ENABLE.

Go to Start>Run, type in "control userpasswords2" (without the quotes), click OK.

Put a check in the box "Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer," click OK.

That should do it.
