Is there a way where we can startup to desktop then its going to ask for a password (like how you enter passwords for user accounts on windows) instead of the raspberry pi starting up with password then bring us to the command line? just so that the user doesn't have to enter 'startx' to get to the desktop gui.

If you set the system to boot to the desktop but then edit the file /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf and look for the line that reads:

autologin-user=pi

and you change this to read

#autologin-user=pi

Found it on http://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=66&t=69448
