Is there a way to force Windows to alway show the same
user name or where can I manualy change the username show
at the Log On box...

I mean when I do some change on the computer as
ADMINISTRATOR (patch, update etc...) when the computer
reboot it always show the last login name... (here
administrator. Is there a way to always showe a specific
user name (the one of my user) or to change it for the
next reboot in the regEdit before shut down the PC. Many
user never remember her user name...

thanks
 
If it were me, I'd use:
HKLM\software\microsoft\windowsnt\currentversion\winlogon
DontDisplayLastUsername = 1 (REG_SZ)

This will display NO name at all. I would not cater to the user who cannot
remember his username.
