How to get rid of logon prompt on Win95?

[The Reaper]

I installed a progarm (Mspeed)used to speed-up downloads and lower ping rates in games. Now I get prompt for a password on the loading of win95 now. Any clue on how to get rid of it? Thanks in advance.

im not sure if its the same thing as win98, but in win98 to get rid of the logon screen all you do is erase your *.pwl files, they are located in the windows folder. like i said i dont know if this is the same thing as win95.


if nothing else, this is a bump for you.

I'm not sure if it will work, but I used to clear the user name and passord field and hit OK. If it doesn't give you an error it should work.

I tried to clear the username but it didn't work. I'll try to get rid of my .pwl files in the morning to see if that works. Thanks

Yea....remove the *.pwl files. Then when it asks for a password....
don't give it anything...
then confirm the password, (nothing) and it shouldn't ask you again.

After deleting the pwl files, open the properties for Network Neighborhood and make sure your "Primary Network Logon" is set to "Windows Logon"

Hmmm nothing seems to work.😕 I think it's time for an OS upgrade. Thanks anyways

you don't need to upgrade. this is the way to get rid of the logon prompt.

(1) Go into Windows and delete all the *.PWL files in WINDOWS dir
(2) In Control Panel -> Network make sure that it's set to WINDOWS LOGIN
(3) Reboot the computer
(4) Put in a user name
(5) Do NOT enter a password.

Tried that and it did not work for some reason. Funny thing is I do not have an option under networks about anything dealing with windows login. Thanks anyways

 

[tim0thy]

what do you have there instead?

 

[The Reaper]

Under Network I have three options; Configuration, Identification, and Access Control. Under Access Control I have two options Share-level access control (this one is maked) and User-level access control. I'm running Win95b if this helps.

It should be under configuration, underneath the box with your protocols and such (TCP/Dial-up adapter/etc). If it is not there it must be different than windows98...I am SURE that is where it is in 98.

Sorry, can't remember clearly back 5 years!

im pretty sure it is in the same place, to my knowledge that didnt change much from 95-98. reaper look closely you might be overlooking it.

Yes it's there. I tried it several times, but it did not work. So I treid it again, and this time it did. Thanks all I really appreciate it. 🙂

That's MS OS for you.
How many times did you have to press "a" on Abort, Retry, Fail?
