Re: Uninstall Network Sign on.

I found out what is causing the changes and actions of my system. In User
Accounts, I went into Change the way users log on and off. I unchecked
(cleared) the Use the Welcome Window, this uses a Windows Classic mode, that
requires log on and offs, all the time. Selecting the option brings back the
XP Pro mode, which allows with one user to go to the desktop without any
other action. This was something I changed at some point with my problem on
my wireless connection.
