restart it.

if that doesn't work, press F8 when computer is starting up and choose safe mode and see if changes on from there...

otherwise, I have a feeling you might be trying to bypass someone else's computer security...but thats just a feeling...

If re-booting doesnt work, go into the Control Panel and change it back in "User Accounts"

Why would you make that assumption?
Just look at his recent posts, and you will see he was trying to set up a wireless network.
What about that posts seems to you like he is trying to bypass security at all?

Python,
What dialogue box? Can you describe it better, or manage to get a screenshot?

Instead of the Welcome Screen you can get a log-in screen similar to Windows 2000 log-in.

So he had it set up to automatically log in, and somehow that changed?

Yeah i see now its been put onto the classic prompt screen and when i click change how users log off its gives me the message : A recently installed program has disabled the welcome screen and fast user switching. To restore these features, you must uninstall the program. The following file name might help you identify the program that made the change :RtlGina2.dll im guessing this file is probably from the wireless network.
