How to allow free access to users instead of a login:
If you would like to use the template with no login, first remove the "join" and "login" links from the menu.js and the menu_windows.js. Then add the following link to the menu.js file. You can change the "Music Gallery" name to any other link name:

document.write('</td><td nowrap>');
document.write('<a href="protected-area/index.html" class="menu">Music Gallery</a>');
