Suggestions for Regestry edit to vague. Not in the habit of making those edits and Bud's response (I believe) assumed I was. So edit suggestions were not followed. Suggest he spell out what it may be, what it should be, and what to change. Was not sure which of the 3 he was refering to.

For DEW and Bud, Further explaination...
Have changed/tried all setings in network and passwords as the pertain to MS Client and Passwords (to no avail). To explain what is happening a little better...
Turn on PC and goes directly into WIN95 without asking for login name or password. Tried removing the .pwl file and that made no difference.

There are 3 directories of
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWAR E\
in the registry. All large directories, ALL
DUPLICATES OF EACH OTHER. Is this a corruption/problem and how should I repair?

No, if you delete something from HKLM it will dissappear in the other hives.
Try it.
Try it.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\
The NoLogon=??
Also,
Go into the Control Panel and then the Network icon and see that you have Client for Microsoft Network.
Also, see http://www.channel1.com/support/Win95/index.html
-------------
If Client for MS Networks is there, and you still can't save the
passwords, either you are not properly logging on to Windows (you MUST hit
enter, NOT cancel or Escape) or the password list is corrupt. If the
latter, delete it. It's stored as C:\Windows\<username>.pwl.
