None of my family ever use sign in names anymore, nor do we have them. We have to press 'cancel' or 'x' to by-pass the window and continue into Windows. Is there a way that I can stop that window from appearing? If so, could you please explain it in a way that a non-computer expert 14 year old can follow. Thanks, Craig Pointon	Guest (0)

Right-click your network icon, select properties and you should see a screen with two windows. The top one will show the network components currently installed and the lower one will probably show 'Client for Microsoft Networks' Click alongside this and choose 'windows logon' then click OK. Reboot and it should go straight to the desktop without the logon & password drama. I'm working from memory here as I don't have W95 available but it should be the same as W98 anyway. If it doesn't work come back and we'll try again. If it does work, come back and tell us! Cheers Billy 8-{)	Guest (0)
