Hi, I would like to find out if there is a way to automate a user to log on
to the network? Either by command, or just make it such that after the
computer switches on, the user is automatically logged on to the network,
without having to type in his password and click the Ok button.

Thank you.

To log on automatically:

Peer to peer: Set the primary logon to windows logon and use a blank
password.

Domain: Download and install tweakui which has a facility for
automatic logging on. This tweakui option is the same as making these
registry changes.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Winlogon

DefaultUserName "your_username"
DefaultPassword "your_password"
AutoAdminLogon "1"
DontDisplayLastUserName "0"

(All strings)

Jim.

Thank you. The Tweak UI works. But is there no way such that I can write a
batch file so that I can schedule the computer to log on an account to the
network instead of automatically logon to the network every time I switch on
the computer? Is there a command that I can use to do login? Or better still,
a command for me to do remote login from my windows 2003 server to the
windows 98 computer?

My PC just recently started asking for this logon at boot-up...not sure what
I did to cause this? And I have the listed registry changes applied but it
still asks for password, which i use blank for...so now what?
