1.) the simple way to stop the Password pause, is to use a utility called TweakUI
that lets you automate the logon/password screen,
2.) the hard way is to edit your Registry (NT4/W2k/XP) with Regedit

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]
"AutoAdminLogon"="1"

Setting it to 0 requires the login.

TweakUI install itself into your 
click on the TweakUI Icon and click ,
You can enter a name and password, then checkmark
Log on Automaticly at system Startup.. and click OK to save.

That's one reason I still use the Free Version of ZoneAlarm v3.1.395,
I've heard their are several Bugs in the Pro version 3.5x??

Same thing for the Comercial version of Black Ice Defender..

One last Caveit about Windows 2000 Pro..

"I've been there, done that, got tyhe T-shirt..." 

I've run Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack 6a for years, and it's very stable,
but last year I got a copy of Windows 2000 Pro, and intalled it on my
AMD-K6-500mhz 256 meg ram motherboard with AMI Bios that's about three
years old, with WinNT 4 Spk6a, and 3 Gigs of free space on the C: drive..

It installed OK with only one problem with hardware compatibility, I had to
install the factory driver for W2K for my 10/100 Eithernet card in order to
reconnect my RoadRunner Cable modem to the internet..

but that only lasted until I upgraded the Win2k Service pack 2, that did
not like my old AMI Bios clock function.. and would lockup my system within
30 minutes of a fresh re-boot..

I re-installed a fesh backup of my old Windows NT 4 Spk6a, and it has run
and rebooted after power failures with no problem...

Good Luck!!!
and Seasons Greetings..
