I was wondering if there is a way besides in the registry to keep the last username from showing up on a new log in for a win7 computer on a domain.
We have a few laptops that keep defaulting back to administrator upon new login and I found that you can modify this registry key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System
dontdisplaylastusername
I am just curious if there is an alternative to making the log in box blank besides there. Thank you.

You can set a GPO to manage this behavior. It toggles the same registry key, but it's much easier to manage. It's in the security policy section under Computer policy.
