windows 98 startup

Hi,
When I start up Windows 98, I first receive a "Welcome Windows Box" that requires a password or just click on cancel to continue loading Windows.
How can I get rid of this completely?

Thanks,
JT

when the password box comes up, just hit enter. Windows will then know that you are not using a password and the prompt will never come back up. No need to type anything, just hit enter and off ya go.

Network

You failed to mention if you were running a network? Like a cable modem or a peer to peer setup? If you have a NIC card in the machine this prompt will never go away. If you want you can get Tweak UI off your 98 disk in tools on the CD. Do a search for Tweak and I'm pretty sure it shows up. Been awhile since I dealt with 98. XP stinks!

Building first computer

I've read a ton and think I am ready to build. I have all the drives except will get a new hard drive (ATA100). Been online a bunch and want to go with AMD processor, at least a gig if I can afford. My question: can you recommend a motherboard that is low priced but won't be obsolete in a year or two. Also, what features are most important? Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Nick

Netscape 6.01

I have got to learn to leave things alone when everything is working OK ! Recently downloaded Netscape and now find that any pictures coming in as attachments to e-mail (using Eudora 5) the attachments show up with the Netscape "N" icon and when I double click to open, up comes the Netscape screen. While I can get the pictures up on the screen ok, I don't want then to come through Netscape. Can this be disabled ?.
