I just installed Voirin's Windows 9x QuickInstall CD and since it creates a default user named win98user, I went ahead and created my own username via Users icon in the Control Panel.

Now every time I restart my system, I am presented with Select user name pop-up, which is very annoying (my password is blank by the way).

In tweakUI, I have even enabled Log-on automatically at system startup option (see the attached images) but I am still presented with this annoying pop-up.

I would really appreciate your kind insights.

Try removing the new username and renaming your old.

I am afraid there is no option to rename a user. There is a make a copy or delete options. Also under

WINDOWS\PROFILES

I can see my name.

Did you try deleting the original user account?

Yes, there is no user profile, except mine.
