need to bypass the login window when windows nt 4 starts up. it is stand alone laptop (Compaq armada) without access to floppy drives or cd-rom!! i used the laptop in my office and i used to login to my office domain...but since i have brought the laptop home i have not been able to use it (since i cant login in). What i really want to do is reformat the hardisk and load win 9x. this is hard to do,since it doesnt have a floppy drive/cdrom drive. i am wanting to do this through a LAN that i have setup at home. Any suggestions would be welcome. cheers
