Hello Ron,

Thank you for the information. But can you please tell me how do I automate
the login to Windows 95 with Blank Password using some Registry Hack?
In my last mail, I mentioned that I just can't run NET USE command without
logging in manually.

As you are saying, there is no way to automate the login with some password
even by writing some password entering program, so at least I should be able
to automate the login with blank password.

How to do that using some registry changes?

Any information other than what I have mentioned in my last mail.

Waiting to hear from you soon.

Thank you.
Regards
Partha
