I have a password set for my one and only account on this computer that uses Windows 7 yet I can't figure out for the life of me how to require that you enter the password to get to the desktop.

I go to control panel - user accounts yet there's only an option to change my existing password. I already have a password, but what's the point if the computer logs me in automatically? I can't figure out how to make it so you need to actually enter it to log in.

Would appreciate any help.
 
Start > run > control userpasswords2 and check 'users must enter a username and password..'.
