secound problem which annoys me that when starting my computer and after windows loading , a box appears and ask me for a password (which i havent set) i click on ok without entering password and i enter the windows , why does that happen when i have never set a password or another account?

when i click on shutdown or log out , the theme for thier box have changed , log out box now have only log off and shut down now have an old style box with tab to pick option from... images can explain but i dont know how to put them ... can anyone help me?

This scenario reminds me of an old 98 setup style and I'm sure it's something to do with the theme but it's been a while since I had XP.

I'll look into it unless someone can come up with an answer first.
