Re: Uninstall Network Sign on.

I picked Client to install from the list of Client, Services and Protacol and
this apparently setup XP Pro for a network server system. This brings up the
sign on window after the black Windows boot up window finishes. It changes
the Turn Off Computer window too, allows log off of network to go to regular
desktop. Both the sign on window and log off, shut down, restart windows are
smallish and colored light blue. The sign off has a scroll bar and text
selection over the regular icon or buttons of the normal windows Turn Off
Computer. I have only one User Account, just to avoid sign ons. My problem
seems to be in finding the Netware Network setup to uninstall or delete it.
