if your using windows 98
click start>>settings>>control panel
click on the network icon
then change the primary network logon to microsoft family logon
restart
that should do it

1) Go to "Network" in the Control Panel. Change the Primary Network Logon to either "Windows Logon" or "Microsoft Family Logon". Close the Network window by clicking on "OK", but don't restart when prompted.
2) While still in the Control Panel, open "Passwords". On the User Profiles tab, click the radio button for "All users of this computer us the same preferences and desktop settings" then "OK".
3) Go back to "Passwords" in the Control Panel and on the Passwords tab, select "Change Windows Password". One at a time, select the items you want to change and click "OK". Type in your old password if you have one; leaving the "New Password" and "Confirm New Password" boxes empty.
Click "OK" twice and restart your computer.
4) If you happen to get the logon box again, click in each box to make certain it's empty, then click "OK". You'll not see it again.
**If you have forgotten your password or had inadvertently entered one in the logon box by mistake, you may have to search your hard drive for *.pwl files. Delete them or rename them by changing the extension to .old or something.

If you are the only one that uses the computer, you could try deleting all .pwl files, rebooting, and then setting up a blank password (when it asks for a pass just leave it blank and click ok). That way it will not ask you for a password and boot straight into windows.

Which steps would wipe it out so i wouldn't even have to hit "enter" before it fully logs into windows?

Follow steps 1 - 4 in my previous and you'll never have to deal with the logon dialog box again, but technically, you won't be logged in. http://www.sysopt.com/forum/wink.gif
