You didn't specify what operating system you were using but this is for Windows95/98. Although this specifies for NO logon prompt, you should be able to interpret the proper registry entry for your situation.
If you are not being prompted for a logon when starting Windows95, and you need to be, there are some possible solutions: 1. Your password may be set to be blank To correct this: Open up the Control Panel Open up Passwords Click on Change Windows Password Your Old Password is blank Enter your password in the New Password and Confirm New Password boxes 2. Registry Setting You may have an AutoLogon key set in the Registry which needs to be removed Start Regedit Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ Software \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Network \ Real Mode Net If the key AutoLogon=x appears, delete it Bob Waterman, CET. #RI-28 Master Technician License #9109 Service Manager / Parts Manager Gemini Computer, TV, & Security Alarms (508)695-7302 (508)695-7769 FAX [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.geminicomputertvsecurityalarms.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Harold B" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, July 27, 2004 9:01 PM Subject: PCWorks: Password on Rebooting Hello again, I might be missing a certain pwl file because upon rebooting I get that window asking for my user name and a password.
