Is there a way to bypass the logon screen on Win2k pro.
We are not using it on any network and wish not to not
have the logon to start win2k.

thanks in advance :)
 
It can be set to "auto-logon", but it would be better to just give it a
blank password in that case, then you just "crtl-alt-del", then hit "enter"
at the prompt. Those extra keystrokes won't kill anyone and the machine will
be in better shape if you change how you want to do it in the future. Never
make the future more difficult by how you do things today,...that's part of
what "scaleability" is about.
 
Yes you can bypass the logon screen and enter directly to
windows after a reboot.

To do this you can do the following.
Go to control pannel/users and password.
Select the user you want to log on automatically as.
uncheck the check box that says "user must enter a user
name and password to use this computer blah blah" Enter
user name and password of that user name and after reboot
you wont see the login screen.
This applies to win2k pro.
