Re: If my computer is a single PC with ADSL connection, can I leave the password blank when I login the XP?

In article <uk$WyrMBHHA.1220@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>, "smith"
<@discussion.com> says...
I am not using LAN, and I am the single user of PC. Is it secure that I
leave the password of user blank when I login the Windows XP?


So.... the Internet is not a network..... hmmmm
This is a no brainer. Use a password, use a passphrase in fact...
You are attaching to the biggest public network there is, and you are
not concerned....
