whenever i log on to the network, the welcome to windows 98 screen always appear even if i uncheck start this everytime it starts.

I cleared out all the guest accounts in the global groups on the server that may cause this, i cleared out the startup section for this to start, i cleared pit the icon from prgm, accessories, system tools and i still can't get that welcome screen to go away.

Is there a way to remove that startup screen from win.ini, sys.ini, or whichever way?! Please help.

What ever runs at startup is also controlled in the registry. The location is HKLM/software/microsoft/windows/current version/run.
If that doesnt do it you might want to run scanreg /fix from dos (not a dos shell) reboot into dos and run the command.
