How can I stop the last username to logon from being displayed?
March 18, 2000
A. There are two ways of doing this. The easiest is if you have the TweakUI utility installed perform the following:
Start the TweakUI control panel applet (Start - Settings - Control Panel - TweakUI)
Select the Paranoia tab
Check the "Clear Last User at logon" box
Click Apply then OK
If you don't have TweakUI or simply want to achieve the result through the registry (maybe so you can set it from a logon script):
Start the registry editor
Move to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindows NTCurrentVersionWinlogon for NT 4.0 or HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionpoliciessystem for Windows 2000.
If the value DontDisplayLastUserName does not exist select New - String Value and enter a name of DontDisplayLastUserName
Double click DontDisplayLastUserName and set to 1
Close the registry editor
