Does anyone know what causes a win98 not to have a logon screen. I don't even get the windows logon screen when I switch to it from client for microsoft networks. I tried reinstalling the client but with no luck. It just boots directly to the desktop.

I think the first thing I would try is to eliminate any local password files (use Explorer to search for *.pwl files) in case someone has activated an automatic logon using cached passwords.

Click on start\run.
Type regedit and click ok.
Goto Hkey_Local_Machine\software\microsoft\windows\current version\network.
Click on the folder icon for Real mode net.
Remove the autologon line(string)in the right window.
Close the registry.
Restart the system.
If the logon window does not come up go into network properties and set Microsoft networks as the primary network logon.

Good Luck!
