Windows Networking Username and Password on Startup
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. --?
