How to remove the pop up window asking for user name & pass word after installing a NIC. OS is windoz 98 SE. Installed the NIC to allow cable moden service. Everything works 100%. I just want to get rid of the "Welcome to Windoz" pop up.

Thanksin advance for any help.

It's really simple.

1) delete all *.pwl files (password lists)
2) go to control panel --> network and make sure your primary logon is not set to "Client for" anything --> change it to Windows Family Logon.
3) save
4) shutdown the computer
5) power it back on and at the password logon, click on OK without changing anything.

Thereafter, you will not be prompted for any logon or password again.

The easiest thing to do is right click on your network neighborhood icon (or you can to the control panel and double click on the network icon) choose properties. At the top you will see tabs, make sure the configuration tab is selected. There is a box called Primary Network Logon, hit the down arrow and select Windows Logon. You will be asked to restart your PC. When you do, do not enter any passwords or usernames in. Simply click OK leaving everything blank.
