How do I turn off guest account in win 98?

[DaviDaVinci]

I wanted boot up password protection so I created a new user. At promt on boot up, i can hit cancel and still go into windows. Is this because my guest account is on? How do I turn it off?

Thanks

Windows 98 has no such concept as user accounts.

There's no such thing as a guest account under Windows 98.

If you want anything even remotely resembling security on your system, Win98 will not get you there.

so the account i made with password was just for settings only?

dang this blows. It's on a Toshiba laptop. So, how else can I prevent someone else turning my lappy on and having access to it.

Put a password on your BIOS.

Put it in a locked case. Either that or put Windows NT/2K/XP on it.

I'm going to go the BIOS route.

I deleted the user that i had created to avoid the promt before windows load up.

Now it STILL comes up, just with no user names. How do I get rid of that promt for password?

THanks

ps I tried, XP, 2000, and ME, but performance got hit badly and ME just crashed all the time. 98SE seems to be happy on this laptop, it's a 2100CDT

Go to Start -> Settings -> Control panel -> Network

Change your Primary Network Login to 'Windows Login'. If you don't have that, try Microsoft Family Logon. You may have to click OK to use a blank password on the next reboot.

I have a similar powered laptop -- 400mhz 96ram, but Windows 2000 performance is acceptable.
