1. In your network icon in Control Panel, make sure you have Client for Microsoft Networks, Dialup Adapter, and TCP/IP protocol loaded. Unless you are on a physical network of some sort, make sure those are the ONLY things loaded. Then, on that same network configuration page, make sure your "Primary Network Logon" is "Windows" and NOT "Client for Microsoft Networks". Reboot the computer. When the password prompt for Win95 comes up this time, be sure something (like "Mick") is entered in the login box, and that the password box is empty. Press enter (or click OK). It should ask you to confirm your non-existent password. Press enter again (or click OK). That *should* take care of Win95 asking for your password on startup. If it doesn't, let us know, because something else needs to be adjusted. 2. Once you take care of the above steps, you should now be given the option of checking "remember my password" when you log on to the internet, so that *after* you've done everything in number one, and *after* the next time you log on to the internet (and entered your password with the "remember" checked), you should not be asked for that password again. The theory behind this: In order for Windows 95 to have a working password file (which includes the password for Win95 itself, for Dialup networking, and a few other things), you must "log on" to your computer each time you restart it. If you get a password screen at Win95 startup, and use the ESC key instead of entering a logon name and password, you have NOT logged on to Windows 95, and you have NOT activated a password file. Therefore, you won't be able to get IE4 or Dialup Networking to remember a password -- as far as Win95 is concerned, there is no active password file in which to store such a password. The reason one should choose "Windows" logon instead of "Client for Microsoft Networks" logon is in order to bypass the startup logon screen, while still enabling the password file for such things as dialup networking. People on a network who have to use a real password to logon should use the default "Client for Microsoft Networks".
