windows log on

[Guest]

I recieved a new PC with Windows XP - Professional. After it boots, a window
appears and instructs you to press "control- alt- del" and then a network
window comes up looking for a user name and password. Since I am not logging
unto any network, is there a way to disable this function ?

trying to connect to the internet at a hotel via ethernet. windows telsl me i
can not switch back to the welcome screen until i uninstall "client services

You will have to log on with the built-in administrator account and
disjoin the computer from the domain.

You need to uninstall Client Service for Netware in Control
Panel -> Network Connections -> Local Area Connection
Properties. You might find the information in the article
helpful.

You haven't given enough information to answer your question
properly. Who gave you the computer? Is this computer joined to
a domain? Do you log on to a network at work?

The behavior you describe is what would be expected from a
computer joined to a domain. That usually means the computer is
used in a business environment. Before you go making any
changes to such a computer it's usually a good idea to check
with the person responsible for administering that computer
first. If you remove the computer from the domain, you will not
be able to logon with your current account.

Good luck

You are correct. I am using this machine in a business enviroment. Even
though I connect via VPN, I must first set up a profile so that the computer
recognizes me as a valid user. After that I can access the system from
anywhere as long as I have an Internet connection. Thanks for everones help.
