Hi
Each time I boot my PC (Win ME) the userName & Password prompt appears, which I cancel it for windows to load.
It is rather annoying, so how do I go to disable it?
Thanks
Yiotie

Depends on how your PC is configured.

If you have a network card, your easiest option is to install TweakUI from Microsoft and use the automatic log-on feature.

If you do not have a NIC, check for un-needed network components in Network settings.

Then, delete all password list files *.pwl on the PC.

Restart Windows, at the log-in prompt, enter as user name and NO password.
Click okay / enter
You should not be prompted for a password again.

Hi,
Go to Start\Control Panel\Users and remove each user. Reboot the system and enter a username without a password.

I hope this helps.
