Question

Is there a way to have Windows 7 show the classic logon prompt instead of the welcome screen? I'd prefer to have the users type in their username/password as opposed to it showing all the users' names/icons

Answer 1

Type secpol.msc in Start Menu Search Bar and hit Enter. This will open the Local Security Policy editor. Navigate to Security Settings > Local Policies > Security Options.

Now on RHS, look for Interactive Logon: Hide last username Rt click on it and open its Properties. Set it to Enabled > Apply.

Answer 2

but this does not get the classic login, this is something you could get in Win XP also. I need a way to prompt me for password remembering my user name but with the "Log on to:" drop down list for domain member computers
