    How to get rid of Windows PW on Startup?

    Hey, on the Win ME system I am running I removed all the the user accounts including the Admin account. Now whenever I boot up, I have no users to select from and I have to click "cancel" in order to load windows. How can I get rid of this annoying useless login screen? I'm having this problem on my win 98 system also. Thanks

    You'll always get it on a 9x system connected to a network.

    Using Tweak UI (get it from the MS website), set a username and password for it to always logon as. You'll see it ask, briefly, before it fills in the details itself and continues.

    There's an administrator account in WinME?

    i thinks if you log into an acount with a blank password it should do it, i know that it works with windows 98.

    I think deleting *.pwl files will remove the password at startup
