Windows98 Sign On/Off password screen
Removed .pwl extensions in windows directory. Removed password sign-on screen-OK. How to get ride of the password log-off indication at Start/LogOff? Control Panel/Users does not have a Users list, only a Wizard to set new users. Control Panel/Password has no user list.
This may be something that TWEAKUI can fix. On the W98 CD load it from \tools\reskit\powertoy.
It has a lot of options for fixing the UI. I hope this answers your question.

Also try giving a login name but not a password, then it should stop giving you that message.

vulle, you are new to this site, and with that, welcome. However, unlike Newsgroups and Usenets, we observe a protocol or policy at this site with which you should become familiar. Experts do not post proposed answers that are incomplete or that are speculative, nor do they post proposed answers that incorporate the comments of others that have preceded you. By doing so, you block the question from the view of another expert who may have a solution to the problem. Since questioners can accept comments as answers, it is beneficial to the questioner that speculative answers be posted as comments, especially when the issue involves further troubleshooting. Hopefully you will cooperate with us in the future.

The answr from dew associates/Dennis was excellent for someone like me who is computer technically starved. Thanks to all. Problem solved.
I'm glad it worked Bluebird2, but why did you accept "vulle's" answer?
ASKER
My answr & points was meant for dew associates/Dennis. But the last options screen for comments was directed to vulle. I was stuck. Wanted to close out question because your answr worked just fine. Thanks, & confused.
Okay Bluebird, thanks for the info!

Thanks- I think he should get them. If several experts answr your question, how do you direct the points to the person you would like to?
You need to post a question in Community Support (zero points) and reference the question number, and who you want to split points amongst.
