    Hello emerald,

    I am not sure if you can get that actual dialogue box or not, there are tons of programs that claim to change the logon but usually its just changing background pictures and what-not. You can experiment with some of them and see if you can get that specific one. Just be careful downloading them and make sure you google each one to make sure its legit before trying it.

    However, I can get you close. You have Win7 Professional so thats a plus. Please type "gpedit.msc" in your Search (in Start) and then follow the first set of instructions here:
    Change the logon screen - Microsoft Community

    Next, if you want to change the background to that color, follow this:
    Log On Screen - Change

    Just substitute the picture added in the tutorial with a solid background or any image you wish.

    Hope this helps!

    Hello Emeraldhunter,

    See if this may help instead for Do not display last user name. :)
