I am the sole user of my standalone P III, yet every time it boots, I am asked to sign in. I usually click Cancel, but still am asked to logon. I tried deleting the *.pwl file,to no avail. So how can I eliminate the log-in screen?

Delete all .pwl files again.

Reboot.

When you get the login screen, leave the password blank and click OK instead of Cancel.

Tried it twice and it didn't work. Any other ideas. I am using Win 98 SE and am a standalone, but am on a Cable Modem for high-speed access. (Roadrunner service) The problem existed before the Cable modem hook-up

whats your OS?
you probably just want to hit enter instead of cancel - so that your password is blank
and you will not be prompted anymore.

Just to take the time to offer an anwer to your inordinate 20 points you should have been courteous enough to offer one of your answering Posts the 20 points with a offering that the Post did not fully work, but Thanks for taking the time.
The real answer is that you are not going to get rid of that Log On box.
