This is an old one, good for NT 4 as well -
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies\system\dontdisplaylastusername

set it to 1 to enable it. You can also do this via local group policy. Hope this helps.

Thanks it worked. However, the infomation in "Look like a Windows NT registry pro with these quick tips" by Bill Detwiler Jul 26, 2000 led me to the wrong subtree under Hkey_Local_Machine it took me to windows nt and did not work. Thanks again. Now I can miss with others computer and they will never know it.
