Hi Frank!

Someone here told me how, when I asked the same question a long while back
(Reddy, maybe?)

Here's how:

Open up your network properties applet in the control panel;

Choose "Windows Logon" as your primary logon;

Click OK to close your network properties applet;

Search your drive for your .pwl password file;

Delete said password file;

Restart windows;

When prompted for a password, just hit <enter>.

Thereafter, you should no longer be required to enter a password at startup.


Thanks to whoever here told me how to do this.  I  pounded my head upon the
desk for many hours trying to figure this out before I thought to ask here
in the list.  :)

Cheers!

I am trying to Network two of my homes PCs using Windows 95.  I know many of
you
on list doing this.  I have networked many PCs before just fine.  Question:
Is
there any way to prevent getting the Network Logon Screen at bootup looking
for
a password?  This stops the PC from booting and therefore ECS would not
load.  I
have deleted Password files etc to no avail.
Tried un-installing, re-installing etc, no help.
