sign on log
I have an older computer that is real slow in comparison
to the new ones. I turn the thing on and leave the room, hoping it will be booted when I return. however when do return I find the WINDOWS LOG ON SCREEN sitting there waiting for me to hit “esc” or cancel. This is not a necessary screen and I’d like to know how to make it go away and never to return. Thanks Mke-L |

sign on log
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). Basically you need to change to using Windows Logon in Control Panel | Network. Then when you next log on don't enter a password (leave blank) and click OK. If you've already allocated a password logon and then 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. Don't click Cancel or Escape as this will mean that you don't log on and are instead what is called the Default user which means you won't be able to save passwords and have access to certain features. --?
