Click Start, Run and enter REGEDIT Go to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies\system
In the right pane, locate the "dontdisplaylastusername" value and change its
setting to 1.
For XP Pro, you can also accomplish this via the Group Policy Editor (Start,
Run and enter GPEDIT.MSC). Go to Computer Configuration, Windows Settings,
Security Settings, Local Policies, Security Options. You'll find this
setting in the Interactive Logon section. Setting the policy to Enabled
puts the restriction in place.
