I just got my NT server to come-up and login automatically (see earlier post today). It logs into my account, lbyard, on the server (I don’t want it to automatically login as the Administrator). To do that I had to assign my NT account a password. If the password is not assigned, NT will automatically reset the registry to disable the automatic logon. We don’t need passwords on our network (SLAN = Small LAN) because it is used by just us trusting Byards and we have a hardware firewall between us and the Internet. The new problem is that Windows Me now requires a password upon startup to connect to the network and I do not want to enter it every time I fire-up windows. Again, this procedure is in a Knowledge Base Article, but I do not want to have to hunt for it again (just plain lazy, I guess). Here’s how: Start>Control Panel>Passwords>Windows Password>Uncheck Microsoft Networking> Ok>Enter the NT password in Old Password or whatever your Windows password is> Make the New Password and Confirm Password fields blank>OK> Double click Network>Client for Microsoft Networks>check Logon to Windows NT domain>enter the domain name>Ok>change Primary Network Logon to Windows Logon>Ok>Reboot when prompted>at the Logon Window enter the password to logon to the NT domain account>check Remember password. When you reboot again everything will be automated; you will not see the Windows logon, but if you have mapped drives, you will see Windows connect to them in a flash. Larry
