Booting up Win98 sec ed computer without......

[JBaymore]

I have aq computer that is running Win98 Second Edition set up on the LAN that supports my simpit.  It is running one of the FreeFD instrument displays.  Is is ert up on the networ fine and works well.

When Windows is booting up, you get a small message box that says something like "Log on to Microsoft Networking" and it comes up with my username already in the top box and the place for the password just below it.  I have it already set not to need a password.  So without filling in anything in the second box, I simply click on the "OK" button...and it boots to the desktop.

What I WANT to do with it here is to have the machine just directly go to the startup of WideFS and then the FreeFD gauge program.  

So how the heck do it get rid of that darn Windows networking log-on screen that pops up....so that when the machine is powered up... I can just have it run the other programs without ANY on-screen mouse interaction from me at all?

Appreciate the help here.

go to Network properties, and change the login mode (box below the device / service /protocol list) to the other one (windows logon or something like that)

It will ask for a password at the next startup, leave that field clear and you sucseffuly got rid of the logon message
