the login/password window that 's an uninvited guest from hell....

ok, so i do a fresh f/p, i load win me, and when the login screen comes up i select cancel without entering anything just like the message says, yet the #$^*&^(*%*^!!! login message reappears on rebooting ever since i loaded the os. other than reloading the os, is there a way of getting rid of this pest? and why would microsoft allow this kind of stupid bug to exist in the first place? thanks, twks2

TweakUI.

search for *.pwl and delete all that you find and try booting again and saying ok.

SUO, Reicherb, thanks much. i'm off to try both your suggestions. twx2

Delete the PWL file. and then hit OK on the login screen, this will set a random pass with the OS, so it wont prompt you for a pass anymore, and set it to microsoft family login under network in control panel

okay okay okay.. simple solution to fix it... that doesn't deal with deleteing anything...

goto: START->SETTINGS->CONTROLE PANNEL->PASSWORDS

then click the "User Profiles" tab... click the top button.. starts with "All users.."

that makes it so the login screen doesn't pop up

that #$%#^&^@#$!!! log-in prompt is history. bless you all, and thanks again. twks2
