Clear last user name in Win2K
This is a discussion about Clear last user name in Win2K in the Customization Tweaking category; 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.

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:
