Hi, fellow listers:
At my household, we've recently established a network allowing two computers
to share the cable internet connection.  We have a linksys router / hub with
one computer being connected via hard wire and my computer being connected
by a wireless link since my computer is in the study a good fifty feet from
any cable drop.  We both used the internet connection wizzard so that we can
share the cable connection, and now that works.  While fuddling around with
this process, I did invoke the home networking wizzard, though I apparently
didn't have to do so at this point since I only want to share the internet
connection available from the router / hub; i.e., I'm not sharing my
internet connection nor is my partner sharing hers as such; we're simply
jointly accessing that which is available from the router.  At this point, I
don't want to share anything on my computer, files, the printer, etc.  Now
whenever I boot up the computer, (and this is before the JAWS loads), I'm
asked for my user name and password, though I haven't created either and I'm
not going to.  I can get past this by simply hitting "enter", but this is
getting old.

My question is: how can I delete my home networking account / configuration
totally and absolutely as though it had never been done.  I don't see any
option for "delete home networking configuration" or anything like that.
Obviously, I don't want to delete the ability to create a home network in
the future, but I don't want one now and I don't want this user ID /
password stuff popping up each time I boot the computer.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

John
