Windows Forum / Windows 98 / Setup / February 2006Ned to Get Rid of Logon Dialog Box
From time to time, the logon dialogue box pops up asking for a password. The computer is used by one person so I have no lgon setup. How do I get rid of this box? Which files may be permanently removed to go around this nuisance? I expect never to need two or more logons, always it will be single person. Please help. This only happens sometimes? If so, then there are some precautions to take. Please locate the following information. 1. Look in the Windows folder. Click on the column header called Type. Look for the Type called PWL File. How many do you have and do you recognize the names of any of them? Is one the one you typically consider your username? The one you usually see when you go to Start>Log off... 2. Go to the Control Panel. 2a. In the Networking applet, what is listed as the Primary Network Logon? 2b. In the Passwords applet, what is the dialogue titled and what options are offered on the first tab (if more than one)? 2c. Same info is needed from the Users applet.  SignatureGary S.

If OP possibly already has multiple users, wondering if there isn't something more to this than meets the eye. I'm always worried that a misstep will accidentally delete the OP's personal files under Profiles directory. SignatureGary S.

Yeah, I hear you, on the paranoia about accidentally deleting personal files....I've done it. :-o (but will J.P. respond?)

In addition to Glen's suggestion for this article: How to Prevent a Windows 95/98 Logon Password Prompt at Startup http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/q152/1/04.asp Disregard the Q135586 link at the bottom of the MS page, instead if you have TweakUI: Click Start, point to Settings, click Control Panel, then double-click TweakUI. On the Paranoia tab, DO NOT select the Clear Last User At Logon check box. That is not for this purpose. Regards, Bill Watt Computer Help and Information http://home.ptd.net/~bwatt/ |
