I need to remove the logon screen when booting up on Wind/ME. I want to just bootup straight to the desktop.

Did you look here: http://www.computing.net/howto/

microsofts tweakui will also allow you to do this....

Yes I did look at: www.computing.net/howto/ it did not tell me how with ME.

How to get rid of the Windows Logon "Password Prompt" 1. First make sure that you have ENTERED a password to begin with. When you first start up your computer you will see this: This is the Windows logon password prompt Enter your NAME and tap [ENTER] Tap [ENTER] to record a "blank" password Tap [ENTER] again to confirm the "password" If you are sucessful in recording a "BLANK" password you will never see this annoyance again. 2. Changing or Removing an Existing Password Click START Go to SETTINGS Click CONTROL PANEL Double-Click the NETWORK Icon Click the CONFIGURATION tab Under PRIMARY NETWORK LOGON Choose WINDOWS LOGON Click OK You will be prompted to RESTART Click NO Double-Click the PASSWORDS Icon Choose the USER PROFILES tab Click the "radio button" next to the option "ALL USERS OF THIS PC USE THE SAME SETTINGS AND DESKTOP PREFERENCES" Now choose the CHANGE PASSWORDS tab In the CHANGE WINDOWS PASSWORD box: Type your current Windows password in the OLD PASSWORD box Leave the NEW PASSWORD box BLANK Leave the CONFIRM NEW PASSWORD box BLANK Click OK Click OK Click START Click SHUTDOWN Click RESTART If this does not get rid of the PASSWORD PROMPT, If you somehow have more than one PASSWORD, OR if you have FORGOTTEN your PASSWORD do THIS: 3. Deleting a Forgotten Password Click START Go to FIND Click FILES AND FOLDERS (Or Right-Click START>>>Click FIND) SEARCH Drive C for the following: *.pwl This file(s) will probably feature your name (for example mine would be nicks.pwl) THESE .pwl FILES ARE YOUR PASSWORDS. You can delete these with no problem DELETE all .pwl files RESTART your computer When you logon just enter a blank screen as your password. (Do not type ANYTHING...leave the box BLANK)* Tap ENTER Tap ENTER The WINDOWS LOGON SHOULD never reappear Hope this helps! REGEDIT4 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Network\Logon] "username"="XYZ" "PrimaryProvider"="Microsoft Family Logon" "LMLogon"=hex:00,00,00,00 Similarly you could run regedit,navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Network\Logon and in the right column, right click on 'user name'. Choose 'Modify' from the box that opens and change the name to whatever you want. Well I hope this works for you ,its worked for others usig Windows Me , good luck. Take Care Nick
