After I installed IPX/SPX on my home network so I can play some games everytime I reboot I now have to enter a user name and password. Anyway I can get it to login automatically like before. I'm using Windows ME on the computers.
If you are using winME, you can use tweakui which has a thing where you can automatically log you in on bootup - try this <a href=http://www.jermar.com/tweaki2.exe> link </a>

Canned Response:
---Removing the startup logon prompt---
To remove a startup logon prompt, the following steps may be necessary:
first, do a find for all *.pwl files and delete them. Upon the next logon, enter your favorite username but do not enter any password and when asked to confirm the password just click ok.
***In the Network control panel, make sure the primary network logon is set to Windows Logon.
In the Passwords control panel and under the user profiles tab, make sure that the option 'all users of this computer use the same preferences and desktop settings .' is set
In the Users control panel, if the create user wizard shows, just click cancel. If not, then remove all users and click ok.
As a last resort, get tweakUI from Microsoft's website:
Install it, and open the control panel, open tweak, and in the network tab is an auto-logon feature. Be warned though: the password you enter is stored in the registry un-encrypted.

A few other things:
If you installed the Client for NetWare networks remove it, you don't need it, all you need is the IPS/SPX compat protocol
double click om the Microsoft client and make sure that Log on to NT domains is un checked
