The logon thing in 9.x will keep coming back. There is a registry hack that disables it, but it gets overwritten sometimes when you do certain updates. If you don't need to share files through a network, you can eliminate those protocols from your network settings and the clients and it won't come back. I have a 98 machine here that I can look at to refresh my memory, but ME may be different. I avoided ME because it looked like fancy 98 to me.
