If your W2K is at home and you don't want or need the NT logon screen for authenication, you can bypass it. Don't do this if your workstation is in a network (ie don't do it at work where authenication is required).

Control Panel / Users and Passwords / remove the tick from Users must enter a username and password to use this computer / click OK
