I had to rebuild my windows 2000 system, and now it waits for me to
logon (press the enter key) during startup. My old system went ahead
and booted up to the desktop and I didn't have to logon - I forgot how
I got it to do that - does anybody know what I have to set to make it
go ahead and LOGON without waiting for my to respond? I am logon on
as administrator and the PC in question is not connected to the
internet (I bypassed the network setup).

Try Control Panel / Users, then untick the box that requires users
to enter a password.
