When I first bought our PC it had only the standard "Administrator"
user set up.
This was fine for me, as I'm a software developer and comfortable with
having admin rights.
However, as our children got more interested in using the computer, I
found the "Content Advisor" in IE rather irritating, and I thought
(without any research) that if I set up a user account for the
children I could set the "Content Advisor" ON for that account and
leave it OFF for ours (the adults).
Sadly, IE's "Content Advisor" settings are not user-sensitive, so the
idea of a separate account for them was irrelevant.
However, the way the "Log On To Windows" box works now is subtly, but
irritatingly different.
Whereas before, when pressing CTRL+ALT+DEL to bring up the login (I
like that approach) the user name field would be pre-filled with
"Administrator", and all I'd have to do is type in the password, now
the user name field is blank. I've looked at various options such as
TweakUI and control userpasswords2 but they don't quite do what I
want.
In brief, when pressing CTRL+ALT+DEL the window shows a "default" user
name, but password must be filled in.
Thoughts?
