Run Regedit.exe
Go to [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion]
Find the value DefaultLogin (or something like that) and change it.

Hope this helps,

The only way I know is to click on the name,
hold the left mouse button, drag across it to
highlight it then type in the user name you
want then hit tab to bring you to the
password box. Type in the correct password,
then press enter. Enjoy!!!

Downloading and installing Tweak UI, you can use the 'paranoia' settings to clear last user name, run history, etc.

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

String Value = "DefaultUserName" => set to desired "Name or Phrase"
