I have not tried my aunty's win 2000

I do not need a password on win98, it just asks me to log in. I can put anything I like, and it will work, it just needs to connect to the network or something. My username is notebook, and I leave the password blank. This is the computer that the autologon does not work.

This to the best of my knowledge is not correct - Win2k is responsible in a LAN for reading the NTFS partition, not Win98. However when you log into Win98 it must be with a valid login from the Win2k PC.

206465 2004-01-11 09:07:00 Doesn't Win2k/XP give the option of logging in with a preset login and password at install time? A The way to do this post install is found at:
