IMPORTANT: This article contains information about editing the registry.
Before you edit the registry, make sure you understand how to restore it if
a problem occurs. For information about how to do this, view the "Restoring
the Registry" Help topic in Regedit.exe or the "Restoring a Registry Key" Help
topic in Regedt32.exe.

SUMMARY
=======

It is possible to hide the user name of the last logged on user in the logon
dialog box in Windows NT.

MORE INFORMATION
================

WARNING: Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious problems that may
require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that
problems resulting from the incorrect use of Registry Editor can be solved. Use
Registry Editor at your own risk.

For information about how to edit the registry, view the "Changing Keys and
Values" Help topic in Registry Editor (Regedit.exe) or the "Add and Delete
Information in the Registry" and "Edit Registry Data" Help topics in
Regedt32.exe. Note that you should back up the registry before you edit it. If
you are running Windows NT, you should also update your Emergency Repair Disk
(ERD).

Start Regedt32.exe and locate the following registry key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon

Add a REG_SZ value named DontDisplayLastUserName. Set the data value to 1 to
enable the new feature. A data value of 0 disables the feature.

The Last Username Display can also be hidden without editing the Registry
directly if you have the Windows NT Resource Kit.

1. Click Start\ProgramsResource Kit 4.0

2. Click Configuration\C2 Configuration

3. Double click the line that reads "Last Username Display"

4. Place a check in Hide the last username to login.

5. Click Secure then OK.
