Hi Duelshotgunner. I just tested this myself, and I cannot reproduce it. I know it doesn't directly help your situation, but it might help the developers to sort out your particular situation. Maybe it is a Publisher 2013 shortcut problem.

But the easiest way (in my opinion) is to go to Start > Run and type: control userpasswords2 Or Start > control userpasswords2 Under the "Users" Tab, deselect "Users must enter a username and password to use this computer". It will prompt for a password
