Network Password

[Dave]

Can someone please advise me how to disable network
password protection.
I have just installed ME on my home PC and when rebooting
I have to acknowledge a Window with a password which I
find very annoying

Many thanks

See MS KB 152104 - "How to Prevent a Windows 95, Windows 98, or Windows
Me Logon Prompt at Startup" (http://support.microsoft.com?kbid=152104).

Basically you need to change to using Windows Logon in Control Panel |
Network. Then when you next log on don't enter a password (leave blank) and
click OK. If you've already allocated a password logon and then delete or
better rename the password file in the Windows folder - this is a file whose
name is your logon name with a pwl extension.

Don't click Cancel or Escape as this will mean that you don't log on and are
instead what is called the Default user which means you won't be able to save
passwords and have access to certain features.

In your Network Connections area, choose properties for your connection.
Remove the "Client For Microsoft Networks" service.
