How do I eliminate the early screen asking for my user name and password before Windows is full loaded during bootup? I must always provide at least my user name.

OK. Click on Start -> Find. Find files named *.pwl. Delete them. Restart the computer. When the login box comes up, just click on OK. That oughta do it. Next time, no box.

The Window still appears at boot up but I need to click Esc,Cancel or Close to continue boot up each time with out entering my data. After deleting the password, I can no longer auto log on to the internet with 56K modem without the password. Solution?

Go to Start->Settings->Control Panel. Click on Passwords, User Profiles tab and check the first option (All users of this computer use the same preferences and desktop settings.) In this way you will disable USer Profiles that have been enabled on your PC.

Hope this helps

To auto log on to the internet when the screen to log on comes up, check the Save Password option so that windows saves your password and does not ask for it again. Also if you check the Connect automatically check box it will automatically dial up every time you open your browser or any internet-related program.
