Using separate How do you force Steam Accounts on separateto use a different account for each Windows User Accounts (Sameuser account on the same machine)?

I just built a PC because my son wants to play PC games. I installed Windows 7, and created 2 user accounts, one for each of us. Within my windowsWindows user account I installed Steam, and downloaded some games from my catalogue.

I was expecting that when the other windowsWindows user account was logged in, it would see the steamSteam application, but would be required to log in again, thus allowing my son to use his own account. But when he logged in, steamSteam had retained my account details and was still logged in as me.

I don't want to share games. In fact I want the opposite, as I do not want my 12 year old to have access to 18 certificate games etc, and also I want to keep my acheivementsachievements and friends lists to be just my own.

How can I tell Steam to use a different Steam account when logged into a different Windows accountsaccount?
