I am trying to "remove" most of the XP-ness so that the machine looks
like a win2K machine. In specific, I have gone to the nongui logon,
and would like to clear the last user name so when a new user logs
on, they have to enter their user name into a blank field. How do I
clear the last username? Where is this set?

If you are using XP Pro, go to Start-Run and type gpedit.msc
Then in the left-hand pane go to Computer Configuration-Windows
Settings-Security settings-Local Policies-Security options and scroll
down to Interactive logon: Do not display last username

I'm not sure whether this function is available in Home Edition.
