    auto-logon parameter

    Hi,
    I installed 8.10 on a laptop and during setup, was allowed to check a box that would automatically log me on. I would like to change that setting back to a manual logon on startup. I cannot see where one might make that change. I've checked the settings in System >> Users and Groups, but I can only change my password there. Can anyone direct me to the correct place to make this adjustment?

    Thanks.

    Go to System>Administration>Login Window>Security and disable "Enable Automatic Login".

    Thanks Egan
    I didn't even see that option on the System>Admin panel. (Sitting too close to the screen I guess)
