Removing User Names From First RDP Prompt

Guest

When using rdp or terminal services on a Windows environment how do you
remove user names from the first logon prompt? I have multiple logon names
and need all but Administrator removed. I have tried looking thorugh the
registry and have been unsuccessful at removing not needed domains and user
logons, I have also cleared the RDP cache. The first promt box is prior to
getting the remote computers logon promt (second box).

Check the registry key referred to in this article.

Thanks. The article describes removing computer names from the RDP box when
first clicking on Remote Desktop. I am trying to remove user names and dmain
info from the first LOGON prompt given before actually connecting to the
remote computer where you receive the second logon prompt. The only info you
are able to enter is a username and password at the first prompt. If you
have already used RDP prior and successfully logged on then you see the user
name in this drop down. That is where my problem is. I need to remove user
names from this location. I have tried clearing the cache and removing names
from the Usernamehint section of registry and this does not remove the user
names. I have also tried removing domains from defualt in Terminal Service
Client under Current User and I have cleared the RDP cache.

Also some names are not shown in the usernamehint section of the registry but
do appear in the logon prompt. I also have been able to remove domains from
RDP connect to prompt (first one when clicking on RDP) but not user names
alone (after selecting or entering computer name to connect to).
