forcing windows 98 SE to ask for log on

There is a 2 computer network. Windows XP Home and
Windows 98 SE.

The 98 SE machine starts. boots to windows with no network
support.

I have to click on log off. Then log back on as a user.
Then everything is connected.

I would like the 98 machine to request a log on at start
up.

This is a common problem in Windows 95/98/Me. It can happen even when
you've done everything right. The most likely fix is to run the
registry editor, open this registry key:

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

and delete the value named "AutoLogon", as shown here:
