I'm running windows XP Home edition SP2, and have old style Ctrl, Alt + Del
log-on screen. Every time I log on the last users name is already in 'user
name' box.

Is there any way of deactivating this?

Any help would be appeciiated.

Can't do this in XP Home AFAIK.......
 
Oh Well,
I had a feeling it wosn't doable.
I'd tried the usual regestry edits but default user just keeps coming back.

Thanks anyway Gordon,

The Regestry keys I was trying to change were in
(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon)

But thats all acedemic now the first link you posted has done the trick.

Many Thanks.
