Networking log-in

Can anyone tell me how to turn off the networking log-in everytime I start my computer?
example: If the users name was called "Ting" and a password is already assigned to it, in the "Systems" folder find the file "Ting.pwl" delete it. restart the computer, when the logon screen shows again, leave the password blank, click "OK" and it wont show again. There maybe a user name that may show but that OK, just dont put a password in. It will show up if there are more than one user of the PC though. But what the heck if its you PC delete the other *.*pwl files. A small note: *.*pwl files may have hidden file properties.

To get rid of the networking password:
Go to start>>settings>>control panel>>network.
In the middle pane... the "Primay Network Logon"... set it to windows logon. Click ok. Reboot when prompted.
You may receive a Windows Logon box when you boot up. If you do, leave your name in the box and the password blank. Click ok. This will create a NULL password and allow windows to log you on directly.
