How do you prevent other users from logging on to your computer?

[Edit]

Answer

A firewall would be a BIG help with this...

If you have Windows XP WITH Service Pack 2 then the firewall is enabled by default.

Windows XP WITHOUT service pack 2 has a firewall, which isn't very good and is NOT enabled by default. Get service pack to and install it now!

Also try...

www.zonelabs.com and download their FREE version of "ZoneAlarm" firewall; it's very good and it's free!

Answer

Create a password protected log-in and do not give the password to anyone else.
