Customize a default user at logon screen

[cqueiroz]

Hello people! Huge greetings from Brazil!

I´d like to ask for sorry: my english is not quite good!!!!

But I really need your expertise!! I swear I stayed googling until 2:00 am with no solutions!!! I´ll try to explain my doubt:

I have two user accounts on my computer: my account and my wife´s account.

She rarely uses the computer, because she prefers to use her notebook, but eventually, as I said, she uses the computer.

I really would like to know if there is a possibility to configure windows to, at the logon screen, it always shows my account (where I put my password) instead of the two accounts, where I have to click the icon for my account user and then enter the password to login.

In other words, it would appear my account (only the rectangle with my picture in the center of the screen - instead of two smaller rectangles, with two user accounts). So, if she wishes to log, she could click "switch user" and then on her icon account, and finally enter the password and login.

I saw there is a way to log with a "blank" icon and put the username and pass, but I don´t want it. I just want to show my icon account and put ONLY my password; so if she wants to log, she must click "swith user".

A big hug!

Hello Cqueiroz, and welcome to Seven Forums.

Sorry, but when there is more than one user account create, it would not be possible to hide her log on screen icon unless you disabled her acccount until needed to only have your account active, then enabled her account when needed.

Hope this helps some,
Shawn

Not sure if this is applicable to the Professional edition,
But you could try oping the local group policy editor (gpedit.msc)
Troll down and change Computer Configuration>Windows Settings>Security Settings>Local Policies>Security Options>Interactive Logon: Do not display last username: Disable.
You will need to reboot your PC after.

It works in Enterprise, and on a domain.
But I've only got one account on my home PC, so I cant test it here, sorry.

Hello Matt,

Unfortunately, that would only allow the normal default logon where you select a user icon and enter the password.

It's no problem at all Carlos. I hope that the option I provided above may be able to be used as a workaround for you.
