Speeding up Windows 9x log-ons
If you have Windows 9x clients on your Windows NT network, you can reduce the amount of time it takes for these clients to log on to your domain by not configuring them to require a separate Windows password.
You'll need to make this change by editing your Windows 9x clients' Registry, so make sure that you back up before you start.
When you're ready, begin by choosing Start | Run.
Type regedit in the Open text box, and then click OK to start Registry Editor.
Next, you'll need to navigate to the
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Network
key.Create a new value in this key by choosing Edit | New | DWORD Value.
In the New Value #1 text box, enter DisablePwdCaching.
Double-click on the DisablePwdCaching value to open the Edit DWORD Value dialog box, and enter 1 in the Value Data text box.
Click OK; you should now see this value in the right-hand pane of Registry Editor.
Your last step is to close Registry Editor and restart your computer.
