"Enter your network for Microsoft Networking" message I do not wan

I reinstalled Windows ME. Now, when I start the computer, I get the message:
"Enter Network Password
Enter your network passowrd for Microsoft Networking
User Name:
Password:"

How can I eliminate this message so I can just bypass it and start using the
computer sooner?

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.

You can also try this,
Go to Control Panel/Network and in the box called "Primary Network Logon"
pull down the one that says "Windows Logon". The other one says "Client For
Microsoft Networks"
That should stop it from happening again.
