If you're unnerved by the fact that anyone could access your profile after you wander away from your PC or laptop for a few minutes, then do the following:
1. go to Control Panel > Appearance & Personalisation > Personalisation > Change screen saver;
2. check the box with label "On resume, display logon screen".
By the way, while you're in there, why not select the "bubbles" screen saver, rather than the default "none"? Do yourself a favour. :)
Bear in mind that giving a password during the installation phase of Windows 7 doesn't mean that by default you will be asked to enter that password when you start Windows or when you resume from standby or sleep. To force the appearance of a password entry field on the login screen, you have to request that via user accounts in the control panel.
