Not prompted for password at startup
I have one PC that won't display the password-box on startup.
I have a MS Network with a NT4 server. Using a Dell Latitude XPi.
After first startup I entered my name and a password. I have "Widows Network" as network type.
I rebbot the PC and it starts up, but don't ask for a PW. I get directly into Windows. Clicking on start shows among all other entries "Log out Ernefors..." but I can't reach anything on the network because my password is not entered.
I then choose "Log out.." and get the password box, enters password and everything works perfect. The next day I start my PC and it don't ask me for PW.. The same procedure as above make everything work!!
I have changed the settings in Control panel to "Windows Login" but no change, I have removed all PWL-files - no change, I have removed everything from the Network in COntrol Panel and reinstalling it (after rebooting) - no change. I have reinstalled Windows from a Microsoft retail CD - no change...
I'm a bit frustrated here, needing to login twice each morning.
Appreciate any help!!

Sorry, I did not clarify well enough. I realized what you were trying to do, but I could not find an article related to removing the automatic login so I provided that article in hopes of pointing you to the registry key that was causing the problems. My mistake, glad the problem is fixed.

Thanks, but that is the opposite of my problem. I DO WANT a login-box, not get rid of it.
Anyway your link helped me solve the problem by giving a few Registry-keys that affect the login.
It was a value called "Autologin" that was set to "00", changing it to "01" made things work!
