I have a PC on the home LAN that acts as file-share box. Many people may need to access it, but it's headless (no monitor) - so individuals cannot log-on manually. So, I need to configure it so that one user is always logged on by default. I have had a 2nd profile on there at some point, and despite the fact that I've removed that profile it still asks to log-in when the system boots up. Even then, there's only one profile available to choose - the one I do want to use.
How do I get Windows (98 SE, build 4.10.2222 A) to forget that there was ever that 2nd profile. I'd like the box to boot fully without the profile-chooser/password dialogue.
The other thing is - is it right that every user that wants to use files on that PC (i.e. read & write access) has to have a profile on the file-share PC? It's possible to read files, but not write to the remote disc right now - that's without creating user accounts on the file-share PC. How do I square this with the auto-logon requirement?
Would this work...? Could I remove that one user that is created and run without user profiles? How would I then give people read/write access?
If it's relevant, the other PCs are a mix of Win2k and WinXP.
