Eliminate logon

[smathias]

How can I eliminate login screen with Win98? I know you can set this up after Windows is first installed, but once you set it to ask for login, it seems fairly permanent. I have seen info on how to do this, but can't find it now. I assume it is a registry entry somewhere.

You could also install TWEAKUI (on the Win98 CD in 'powertoys') which has an option that will fill in your name/password automatically. This way Windoze doesn't lose password info you might want it to keep, like dial-up networking, etc.

Find/delete all *.pwl in c:\windows dir.
Delete the "Password Lists" section from system.ini.
Reboot.
When W98 restarts, it will prompt you for a password. Make sure that the "Password" txt box is cleared and select ok.
You won't ever be prompted for a Windows password again for that user account.

This only works for stand-alone pcs unless your lan domain server is wide-open or you're running login scripts seperate from W98 login.

Thanks. That's way too easy. How come the Registry got neglected for this task? Editing text files is way too simple!
