Okay, I have a Dell Precision and the Dell ControlPoint software (which works with my fingerprint reader and smartcard reader – let’s me login with my fingerprint OR a password) changed some registry setting so that my welcome screen let’s me click a box that says “Click here to logon as another user” underneath my username.
Sure enough, if I click it, it will let me change the domain and user account and login to any account on the computer.
NOTE: BOTH computers are running W7 PRO and are NOT in domains.
The second computer doesn’t have ControlPoint. I can’t figure out how to get W7 to let me logon as OTHER users without disabling the last login. The only way I’ve been able to get it to even let me type a login at all is by enabling “hide last username typed” or whatever in security policy, but then it shows the login name as blank.
Basically, I have a backdoor admin account that I want hidden from the regular user. I don’t want them to have to type in their username every time (my users will totally forget their domain – or in this case, the computername) but I don’t want the admin account sitting on the welcome screen either.
Any suggestions?
