Must to logoff

Hi All!

I get this error when I try to connect to network drives.
Every time I must Logoff and logon - then I can connect.
I want it the way it's on the second machine - it asks user name and
password every time I go in Win98 and I dont nee to logoff/logon.

c:\WINDOWS\NET USE k: \\MYPENTIUM\k mmm

Error 3787: You must log on before performing this operation.

c:\WINDOWS\NET USE l: \\MYPENTIUM\l

Error 3787: You must log on before performing this operation.

c:\WINDOWS\NET USE j: \\MYPENTIUM\j-mmx

Error 3787: You must log on before performing this operation.

c:\WINDOWS\NET USE q: \\MYPENTIUM\c mm

Error 3787: You must log on before performing this operation.

When you log off the problem machine, do you have to enter a password to log
back on? There are various reasons the machine might be automatically
logging on, the simplest being that you are using "blank password". If
that's the case, I *think* that all you need to do is put in a password and
click OK. I *think* that password will be saved and you will need to use it
from now on. I said I *think* because I'm not at my 98 machine and can't
experiment. Another solution may simply be to use the Passwords applet in
Control Panel to change your password from <blank> to whatever you want.

But, if you already have to use a password to log back on, then it gets more
complicated. Such a situation would indicate that at some time in the past
someone has added "autologon" features to the Registry. In that case, this
article would be one place to start.

Unfortunately, most of the available literature explains how to *enable*
autologon, not how to get rid of it. But reading those articles will give
you hints on where to look for previously inserted autologon commands. Like
this page, for instance:
http://www.howtonetworking.com/Windows/autologon.htm

(The applicable paragraphs are the third and second from the bottom.)

You can see that there are various ways to enable autologon. Please be
careful when editing the Registry. Use the Start>Run box to run "SCANREG
/BACKUP", first. Then, before making any edits to a Registry Key, use
Edit>Export to create a backup REG file for that specific Key. If you feel
like you messed up really bad, you can always boot to Command Prompt Only
and use SCANREG /RESTORE to restore a full backup.
