Recently my friends father had an old Dell Inspiron wiped clean.

I tried to install Windows 98 onto it, and it stated that it already had an operating system installed on it. Each time I restart the computer the windows screen flashes on quickly and then goes immediately to a C: prompt. I tried some things but none seemed to work. I am not sure if the autoexec file is working properly, or what the problem is.

Every time I boot up It asks for Username and Password. I'm the only who uses the system and it keeps my computer from starting completely until I put it in. I even set the password to nothing, but windows still hangs on the prompt until i click ok.

Hi guys. I was just wondering, is it possible to remove the windows logon window when window starts up? I mean, when windows starts up, there is a window with two spots to type in the user name and password. I don't want to delete the user name because the computers are on a network and they need to know what computer they are, I just want to disable the window from showing up, because it's annoying.

I want it to go straight into the account student without showing the window. Joined Sep 6, Messages 7, Delete all thes files. This will in essence recreate the pwl so It will then prompt you for changing your WIndows password, just null it leave it blank.

That should do it. Machines network based on computername and sharename not username so in a workgroup deleting and recreating the username should not matter. Username would only be relevant in a domain where the actual account would be kept on a server.
