On the 'Log on to Windows' screen, the cursor automatically starts in
the Password field (box) -- not the User field. How can I change the
starting location of the cursor?
For that to happen you'd need to have the user name field blank. You can do
that with Group Policy or edit the registry.
For XP Pro, go to Start -> Run and enter gpedit.msc in the Open box.
In the Group Policy console, navigate to the following branch.
Computer Configuration -> Windows Settings -> Security Settings -> Local
Policies -> Security Options
In the right hand pane, right click on Interactive Logon: Do not display
last user name and select Properties from the menu.
Select Enabled and hit OK.
Log off.
The User name field will now be blank with the cursor positioned there.
For XP Home Edition, run the Registry Editor (Start -> Run -> regedit.exe)
and navigate to this registry key.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies\system
In the right hand pane, right click an open spot and select New -> Dword
Value.
Name this new value dontdisplaylastusername set it to 1.
