You have to enter in a username or password to get to the point of a batch file running. I want to be able to store the info so it will automaticliy go right by the log in prompt.

Since the machines are Win9x, the automatic logon options are limited. In WinNT/2K/XP, you can configure a machine to log in automatically with a domain account. For Win9x, the best I could find was to set up a default password that will log in automatically.
It might work for your needs.

Go to:

for the details. It is a Registry hack.

hope this helps

Why not use Tweak UI in the Control panel and supply your information under the Network Tab?

This shouldn't be too hard,
1. Be sure that you have the right network-client installed (usually MS Windows client).
2. delete all .wpl-files from your pc. This will cause Windows to prompt you for a loginname and password when you restart the computer.
3. Here you must supply windows with a name and password that match those in the network (or on the computer with the shared resources).
4. Comfirm the password.

Now you should be able to access the network because windows will automatically try to log on to the network with the name and password it already knows.

P.S. if you provide an empty password (on your PC aswell as on the network, you don't even have to log in once. Otherwise you have to log in to your PC, which will automatically send the used loginname an password to the network as soon as you try to access the networkresources.

Hi Dennis

You can edit the registry for W95 and W98 to make the system automatically logon to the network.

Click Start>Run, then type

Regedit

Click OK.

Navigate to:

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Winlogon

Create a new string value in the right hand pane and call it:

Default Password

Set it to match the password of the default user.

You will never have to click OK at the logon screen again.

Hope this helps
