Never see the Windows password screen again.

Does your home computer ask for your user identification every time you start up? If you are the single user of a home computer, you probably don't need to see the logon screen every time you boot up. Read through these steps and then follow along with Chris on today's episode of "Call for Help" to see how to bypass the Windows 98 logon screen.

To do so, follow these directions.
  1. Click the Start menu, mouse over Settings, then click the control panel.
  2. Double-click the Network icon.
  3. Under "Primary Network Logon," make sure the "Windows Logon" is selected rather than the "Microsoft Network Logon."
  4. Click OK and then click OK again to restart your computer.
  5. When the logon window comes up, enter a name (it doesn't matter what name you pick), leave the password blank, and hit Enter.
  6. When your computer asks you to confirm that blank password, hit Enter again.


After that, you should never see the logon screen again.
