I have tried all the preferred methods of removing the Windows 98 Network logon box at startup, and yet it still appears.
By usual methods I mean, the user profiles deleted, and passwords, etc.. as outlined in 98 resource kit as well as the Microsoft Knowledge Base article.

If anyone has discovered a wonder cure for this, would you plese email me at norske@charter.net.

Thank You for your time

You need to go to start, settings, control panel. then double click on the network icon. In the primary network logon box click the drop down arrow. Then choose windows login. click on ok. you will have to restart your pc. if windows ask for the windows 98 cd put it in the cdrom. good luck!!

In addition to the above (Answer 1), you will need to delete all *.pwl files before starting this process, then do Answer 1's response.

Then, when you get the first logon prompt click on OK (WITHOUT inputting anything in the password fiels -- this is very important). The next time you reboot, you will not have the logon box appear at all, because the password is blank.

If you input anything in the password box, or hit cancel, you will need to redo it again (delete *.pwl, make sure the Windows Logon has not changed) and click on OK.

If you must have Network logon (rather than Windows logon), get hold of TweakUI (it's included on the Win98 CD, though not on the Win98SE CD) and install it.

It won't remove the logon box but in the Control Panel you can set it to automatically log you in without stopping.
