how do I enable the network logon prompt

Several years ago I was told how to disable the logon
prompt. I now want to enable it as I have a home network
and the logon is required to access other computers on
the network. To get the logon prompt I have to logoff
from the start menu and then can log on. I would just as
soon logon on startup.

This should make the logon prompt re-appear:

1. Run the registry editor.

2. Open this registry key:

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

3. Delete the value named "AutoLogon".

4. Go to Control Panel | Network.

5. Set the primary network logon to Windows Logon.

6. Reboot.

Then, log on with a user name and no password. After that, the logon
prompt won't appear, the system will automatically log you on, and
you'll be able to access the network.
