Clear last user name in Win2K

[rickr 0]

Is it possible to clear last user name in the Win2K logon prompt?

Easy to do in NT4 via a registry tweak or using tweakui. Trying the same in Win2K has no result.

I look after a NT4/Win2K network where most of the users are students, and I feel it is a better idea to clear the last user name. Less of an incentive to try and guess the previous users login.

Can this be done, or am I wasting my time trying?

This would normally be done in the Policy Editor, but this link shows how to do it in both NT and 2K:

Ah, so it is possible.

Thank you.
