For Windows XP I have my computer set so that you have to press ctrl+alt+del and then input both the username and password to sign in. My problem is that it logs the username and the next time I open my computer the username field is already filled in. How can I turn this of?

It is also possible to turn this "feature" off in Windows XP Home Edition, but seeing as it doesn't come with Group Policy editor, you have to edit the registry instead.– misha256Feb 26, 2015 at 2:24

Use Group Policy to accomplish this:
To actually get into Group Policy, run gpedit.msc:
You'll need to Admin privileges to make this change.
EDIT
For Home edition of Windows XP, you need to edit the registry. Details on what registry key/value needs to be changed can be found here. While the document is for Windows 2000, it applies equally to Windows XP.
