Does XP Professional have a function similar to Windows
NT's "DontDispalyLastUserName"?
 
Yes.

In XP Pro, you can do this via the Group Policy Editor, GPEDIT.MSC.
Computer Configuration, Windows Settings, Security Settings, Local Policies,
Security Options, Interactive Logon: Do not display last user name

For XP Home, click Start, Run and enter REGEDIT Go to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies\system

You may need to add the System subkey. Look in the right pane for a value
called dontdisplaylastusername If it exists, a setting of 0 (zero)
displays the last user name, a setting of 1 doesn't display the last user
name. Right click dontdisplaylastusername and select Modify to change it.
