Ok, here's what happens upon boot:
-------------------------------------------------------------
Here's the info:

A gray box appears in the middle of the screen. Across the top, it says:

Welcome to Windows

Type a user name and password to log on to windows

User name: ______________ OK
Password: ______________ Cancel
--------------------------------------------------------------
The user hits cancel right away and things work fine.

In C:\windows there is a 000.pwl file. Is that the one that should be
renamed?

Thanks again, Mike. Hope all is well for you.

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).

If you've already allocated a password, logon and then after ensuring that
you are using Windows Logon 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. On rebooting you shouldn't now be asked for a password.

Unfortunately your tip didn't work. Could there be another setting
as well? The user's considering checking the BIOS settings right now.
Not sure what would be changed there though as I stay out of the BIOS.

Thanks for the advice. If you have any other possible solutions,
please let me know.
