You can set crtl-alt-del in the local security policy under administrative tools in the control panel. You can also choose not to display the last user name... see the choice right above the highlighted one in the attached image.

If both are selected you are presented with blank user name and password fields after crtl-alt-del.

Other Info
7 Ultimate and 7 Pro twice each at home - Gigabit on the Network - Tomato on the Linksys - I freely share my wireless with my neighbors (8-10 additional devices)
That doesn't quite achieve what I was asking for. That removed the icon, and I had to type in the username.

Is there a way to keep the icons and username's still displaying, while removing the administrator account from the login screen?

Also,
What happened to when in XP I could press Crtl-alt-delete twice and it would bring up the old way to login? Is there a way to do that in Win 7?

Thanks!

Please clarify Administrator - distinguish between the built-in Administrator account (not shown on log-in by default) and a User Account with Admin privileges.
