Cannot get a Logon Prompt at boot time

I have the "Microsoft Client for Networking" loaded on a
Windows ME machine, but I never get a Logon prompt at boot
time. After I boot up, I can go to Start->Logoff and
then, after saying I want to logoff, I get a Logon
prompt.

I cannot access the network until I go through the above
steps of manually logging off and back in.

Any ideas about why I don't get a Logon prompt when I boot?

Also, when I attempt to browse the network before
performing the above logoff/logon sequence, I can see the
names of shares but cannot access them (until I logoff and
logon again).

Using REGEDIT, open up the following key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\
Network\Real Mode Net

and delete the value named "AutoLogon" if it exists.

Reboot the system and that should do it.
