You can add level of security to your WINDOWS XP System. This is called securing your Windows XP accounts database. Which allows you to store all information related to your accounts in a encrypted form on a floppy disk. And what it will do is that if You do not have your floppy disk(on which U stored the data), You can not access the system.Means Even if Anyone knows your userid/password, He/She will not be able to access the system unless and until he/she has this startup disk.
The process of generating this secure startup floppy disk is simple.
1. Go to START-RUN and type "syskey" (Without the double quotes).
2. Click on the Upgrade command button on the window to see.
3. Another window will be popped up which will give the option of storing the encrypted accounts database either locally or on your floppy disk.
4. Choose floppy disk and click OK and let the process complete. You are done.
Next time You reboot the computer and get to the logon prompt, make sure that You have the floppy disk available in A: drive else You can not log on.
