Logging On with Windows 2000

Is there a way to change Windows 2000 to where you do not have to log on (Log On to Windows 2000 username and password)?

In Users and Passwords in the control pannel , you can uncheck the user must enter a user name or password ...

netwalker1 - where is that option? You can uncheck 'Require users to press Ctrl+Alt+Delete before logging on', but have never seen one you mention.

The Option which u mentioned in the advanced tab ,, go to the user tab and u will find the option which I mentioned ..

Exactly, netwalker1 - it's only there for Workgroups and not when logging into Domains.

In Control Panel, choose Users and Passwords, then the Advanced tab. Uncheck the requirement for "user must enter a user name or password ..."

If your machine was already unchecked, but requires logon, you must check this, Apply, reboot, then go back in and uncheck it. That mystified me recently...
