I am currently using Windows 2000 Professional.

Question:

When I turn on the computer, is it possible, that BEFORE
Windows Starts, the system prompts for a Password ?

Based on that PASSWORD (Example "Hello") it would start
windows and would try and log on to the network with a
given ID (Example User A) RELATED to this PASSWORD
("Hello").

I would log on to the WINDOWS NETWORK after this step
using the profile of User A.

***********************************************************

In case, I entered ANOTHER PASSWORD (Example "Greetings")
it would still start windows and would try and log on to
the network with another ID (Example User B) RELATED to
this PASSWORD ("Greetings")

I would log on to the WINDOWS NETWORK after this step
using the profile of User B.

If this can be done, What is the Step Wise Procedure to
achieve this ?

Thanks
Kenny
