I no longer get my username as defaultvalue when the
logonscreen comes up after booting.
 
Hi,

Start/run secpol.msc, go to Local Policies/Security Options.
Look for the line: "Interactive Logon: Do not display last user name" and
double-click it and disable it.

Mattias,

Set the "DontDisplayLastUserName" value to 00000000 [DWORD]. The key is located at:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System]

Or copy the following contents and save it as REG file [beware of double-extension when you use notepad to save the contents]
====From next line===============
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System]
"DontDisplayLastUserName"=dword:00000000

====Till previous line===============
 
Thank you for the answer. Another problem did accour.
when i came to the form where i should disable the both
radiobuttons enable/disable were disabeled so i didn't
work any way.
