How do I disable the Microsoft Network password box that appears on boot-up? I have one computer I don't want password protection on.

First, you will usually get more and faster responses to this type of question if you post it in the Technical Q&A section.

It depends on your hardware configuration, and version of Windows.

For Windows 95 and 98, if you have a network card, or certain protocols installed, there is now way to get rid of the log-on box.

If you do not have a NIC, and do not have protocols (like direct cable connection) installed, then the way to get rid of the log-on box is to enter a user name with NO password, and click on OK.

You may need to delete the .PWL file on the computer fro this to work.
