Thanks solved Re: Help with logon screen

Want to thanks the two people that responded. I was able to use
regedit to fix the problem. I think what happened is there was a
password associated at one time but got tanked somehow. I just
changed the default user to "W" not "W & D" then I changed or I should
say added a password for W. Boot cycle is clean & automatic. Now if I
could just get my modem problems fixed. That is on another newsgroup.
Thanks again for the help.
