When I start my computer it immediately opens to my password protected
screen. It used to open to the main screen where I would select my user
name, then type my password. how do I get it back?

What does "it immediately opens to my password protected screen" mean?
Can you explain further about what screen this is?

Thanks for the reply. When I used to boot my computer, It used to open up so
it showed all 4 user profiles. Then I would enter my password and log onto my
user id. I am an administrator of the computer. Now it automatically logs
into my user profile and opens up my home screen. I have young kids (who
probably messed it up) I don't want them having access to my site. Who
knows what other changes they could make. I would like to open up to the
main screen that displays when you log off all users.

Bob

Press WINKEY+R. Type control userpasswords2 and press OK.

Place a check mark in the "Users must enter a user name and password to use
this computer" option.

After you get things back in order, you might want to think about making
your kids standard users rather than letting them have admin privileges.

Do the other three users still exist? Or did your kids somehow delete them?
