Bring back old style logon panel in Windows 7

The following procedure modifies Windows' registry. Proceed with caution.

Launch Windows' registry editor, Regedit.exe. Go to the following location.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System

In the right side pane, change the key's value of

dontdisplaylastusername

to 1.

If you don't see any dontdisplaylastusername, create a new DWORD key. Name it dontdisplaylastusername and set its value to 1.

Possible values of dontdisplaylastusername are

0 - The name of the last user who logged on successfully appears in the Log On to Windows dialog box. This setting is designed to make logging on faster and easier.

1 - The User name field in the Log On to Windows dialog box is blank. This setting is designed to enhance the security of the system by not displaying a valid user name.
