This is just my home machine, no more RAS connection, even. This is one place I want no password security at all, except relating to the web (and AV security). When I get cable modem soon, I will want to be concerned a little more, no doubt, than with just my DUN. That will be a new & interesting project, a home firewall :)

At work, I just sync my Windows PW with net PW, that's an easy way to avoid the pesky Win logon, and maintain the security for 95. For NT, I think we just disable a registry key in configuration, since whatever disables Win logon is invisible.
