You can go to this link for more information, but I think that shown below will do it for you. Just set your account to require a password to open. You can double-set by setting a password for your computer to come out of standby through the screen saver.

After you upgrade a Microsoft Windows 2000-based computer, Windows XP Professional may start directly to the desktop without stopping at the Welcome screen or requiring you to type a username and password. If you then create a new user account, you may not receive any option that allows you to log on by using the new account.
This behavior can occur if Windows 2000 was configured for automatic logon (Autologon). Windows XP inherits this configuration setting.
To resolve this behavior, turn off the automatic logon feature and require a username and password at logon:

1. Click Start on the Windows taskbar, and then click Run.
2. In the Open box, type control userpasswords2, and then click OK.
3. In the dialog box that appears, click to select the "Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer"
check box, and then click OK.

To work around this behavior, log off from the Autologon account, and then log on by using the new account.

Not Prompted to Create Password with New XP User Account

When you create a new user on a Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition-based computer, you are not prompted to create a password. To create a password for a user account, click the icon for the account, and then click "Create a Password".
