Default Welcome Screen! HELP!


Ok. So I have my desktop password protected and I usually turn on the
welcome screen whenever I leave the house.
I live with some nosey people and I don't want them using my computer.

I noticed though that my computer was being logged on to even though it
was password protected.

SO when trying to figure out why, I realized that if you restart the
computer, my desktop loads up automatically!

How can I get the computer password protected so that the welcome
screen comes on when the computer is restarted?

-Gabrielle
