When I originally set up this Win98 with "Client for MS Network" the "user name" at the login screen always displayed along with the "Domain" name(Password was blank). I recently changed my password & login name. Now only the Domain name displays inthe login dialog box at boot-up. Can How can get the "user name" to display automatically again?

Usually the last user to login is placed in the username box. If this is the first time you logged in since changing your username and password this would be correct.

Is it possible that Tweak UI is installed? There is an option to turn the last users name off.

Thanks for your reply. Tweak UI is not installed and I haven't used it in the past. Does it have an option to always display the users name in the login screen in Win98?

Other stuff I have tried:
I already had the primary login = client for MS network setup. I did remove the MS client, rebooted, got the windows login and select cancel to that. Then I added MS Client back again in hopes that this might keep the user name after a second or third login. This didn't work.
Also, when I got the windows login it would not accept any password and therefor would not allow me to enter a new windows password(not sure if these are connected).

I have also deleted the *.pwl files from the C:\windows directory. Then rebooted and this didn't help.

Are you computer work in network with PDC?
Change the securiry policy if domain at PDC (don't show last user name).
