No, UNIX spool to WinXP

Perfect. That's what I want to do. Now tell me how you configure WinXP to
accomplish this magic.

Remember, I did not set up the XP box. If you walked into a client's office
with a XP system already setup and running and when you try the above, it
insists on you supplying a user name and password, how would reconfigure
XP to act like Win98 and not require the user name and password?

Please don't skip any details. I have been dragging my feet on XP and have
been installing Win98 (yes it is still available with new white box systems
from ASI) for all my client's. I don't have XP and have no desire to purchase
an XP system to play with.

TIA
