Question about 'Get Rid of the Logon Screen'

I have a question about Get
Rid of the Logon Screen:
I have used all the suggested methods to remove the Logon Screen to no avail: i.e.,
choosing "Windows Logon"; changing the Logon Script in the registry; using Tweak
UI to select "Log on automatically at system startup". I now get a screen that asks
for a domain name? Has anyone solved this problem?

Which problem....the login screen or the domain? Here's my solution for removing
the network logon screen and it works! I just used this last night on a customer's
PC with no problem.

Double Click "Client for Microsoft networks"
clear the checkbox next to logonto NT network domain.

I had the same problem. It was driving me crazy, but after 45 minutes
I figured it out.
Click Start > Settings > Control Panel > Network
highlight "Client for Microsoft Networks"
click properties button (which should unshadow)
Under logon validation: uncheck "Log on to Windows NT Domain"
Under Network Logon Options: check "Quick Logon"
Click OK

I solved this really easy! First you need to restore what they told you to do by
changing the process logon script, then do what I did and posted on this site. Presto
Bingo! No more logon screen

Here is the solution, just did it on a win98 machine.
Open the Registry Editor (REGEDIT.EXE).
Open HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ Network\
Click on Network to highlight it
Export the registry file (Name it something like "Logon Backup")
Now it is safe to delete all the branches under the Network key.
You should have 2 folders, "Persistent" and "Recent"
Once they are deleted, reboot the machine.
Windows will either issue a logon screen with no user or pass.
If it does this, then type in a username and no password, then click ok.
Now you shouldn't have that annoying logon screen.
If windows does not issue a logon screen after the reboot, then it worked as well.
I hope that in conjunction with these other posts that you can accomplish this if
you have some of the other mentioned problems. Like, "Logon To NT Domain", etc..
Have fun:-P

Try deleteing the .pwl files in the c:\windows directory, then restart. When you
get the logon screen again make sure you give it at least a 3 letter name & leave
the password blank, click ok. When you restart again it should log onto windows
automatically

In our environment we logon to an NT domain using Microsoft Networking Client on
our Win98 machines. For some reason when we switched a mixed Netware/NT to an exclusively
NT domain network I began to get both the Windows logon window and the MS Networking
logon window. What finally solved it was to change the settings for User Authentication/Logon
in IE 6 Options-Security tab to "Prompt for User Name and Password"
None of the remedies listed above worked.

As soon as this happens go to the 'windows\sysbckup' directory look for the five
or more or less 'rbxxx.cab' files there and restore one of the more recent ones
following these main steps.
1. Create a directory in the 'windows' directory say called 'rb5'
2. Unzip the 'rbxxx.cab' file of your choice
to the 'rb5' directory
3. In explorer open the 'rb5' directory select all the
files and change the file attributes to 'archive' only
So that some are not 'hidden' and/or 'readonly'.
4. Go into 'regedit' and backup your current registry as you may want it back.
5. Now restart in MSDOS mode and 'cd' to the windows directory then change the attributes
of
sys.ini, user.dat and system.dat files by using the 'attrib' command as in: attrib
-h -r user.dat
6. Now you can copy all the files in the 'rb5' directory (there should be four: the
three mentioned and the file 'win.ini') since you are still in the 'windows' directory
just use 'copy rb5' that should copy all the files to your current directory which
is 'windows'.
7. Lastly restart the computer it's advisable to start up in 'safe mode' first then
exit and start up in normal mode.
Hope that the above steps may solve the problem if not you will just have to restore
the saved registry and restart your computer and find some other method.

I am not not if this helps but I just dicovered a solution for the win 98 password
screen removal. Go to control panel and choose passwords and check anyone who uses
computer. Then restart Computer this seems to work.
