Hello, Noel.

The user botched up the system as she notes below:

"A couple of weeks ago I went into the Network places on Me, and instead of
clicking what I thought was the close button (wasn't paying too much
attention to what I clicked), I guess I clicked the button that put a
request for user name and password on every time the desktop comes up. I
read the post in the forum (but as you say, it must have been directions for
XP), because they didn't work on Me. This box is driving me nuts How do I
get it off the desktop?".

Take care, Noel.

Sounds to me as if the user has been trying to logon without a username,

The pwl file to delete is that with the user's name. So if the user
wanting to remove their logon password is Jack the pwl file will be
called
jack.pwl and if their username is 000 then it will be 000.pwl. If
uncertain then rename 000.pwl to say 000.old and reboot.

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.
