Default Removing/Disabling 'Enter Network Password'

How do I diable or remove 'Enter Network Password' that is
displayed each time Window is booting up. I want the
system to boot straightaway unto the Desktop without
stopping halfway and asking me to 'Enter Network Password'
I have tried the 'Cancel' and the 'OK' bottom at different
times, but got the same result.

Thanks

Default Removing/Disabling 'Enter Network Password'

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.
