Correct way to eliminate Windows Logon Prompt

In the Registry, there is a flag (not appearing by default) called
"AutoLogon" under the
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE,SOFTWARE,Microsoft,Windows,CurrentVersion,Network" 
On most systems, this binary value needs to be added - make sure it is a
binary value.  By default this is 1 (enabled) change the value to 0
(disabled) so that it will not ask you to login.  (might want to try
AutoLogin if this doesn't work - I can't remember which is correct...)

To log into Novell anytime later, you can run LoginW95 (or whatever the
program is called...)  This is also the only way I know to enable Win95 to
automatically login to Novell. (by running "loginw95 .username.context
/cont" in the Startup group)  Notice there cannot be a password for the
username to autologin.
