I have a possible answer about Get
Rid of the Logon Screen:
#I have revisted this problem so many times it's not funny, different Windows O/S's,
different machines, different answers all round.
#But the things that have been mentioned in previous threads are mostly correct.
#When all of the above ideas don't work, before trying the possible system mangling
suggestions, try this one.
#Do a search for the pass word list files, " *.pwl ", using a wildcard "*" for the
detail before the file extension [the .pwl bit].
#Delete all the mentions to "user" pass word lists, leave the ones labeled "default".
#Reboot and see if this worked for you.
#I don't think this idea will apply to W2k or XP, it certainly worked on my last
Win ME box that had this problem. [after checking previous ideas mention in threads
before and finding the system already as per suggestions, but still asking for PSW]
#Point to be made here about PSW's with Win 95 98 ME is that passwords don't keep
nasty people out of your machine, just slows them down. For XP I reconmend using
a password, even if you make the logon automatic, drop your day-to-day user rating
to "limited user", make sure you are using the NTFS file system and enjoy the added
security, plus your computer is a lot less likley to become a zommbie machine and
spread more spam than we have now.
##Hope this helps, remember keep that firewall up and antivirus up to date, consider
XPsp2 and turn on Auto-update please. We all live in this cyber world and need to
make it a safe place for all.
Cheers Mega.
