is there a way to allow win2000 professional to log into the network without providing a password... my client wants the win2000 to bootup and log in without supplying a password. Several people use this system after house when office is closed andthey are forgetting the password and this is causing problems. Therefore, we want to have this system that is on a work group login without the need for a password

This is a common question here. My suggestion is to use TWEAKUI, a free application from Microsoft. It lets you customize all kinds of Windows settings. One of its features is the Logon tab it has, where you can specify a username and password that the Win2K machine will always auto-logon with.
Get TWEAKUI for Win2K here:

(please remove any spaces)

This version works with all Windows versions except for XP(which has its own Tweakui version).

hope this helps
