My test computer is configured to not allow fast user switching. When no one is logged on and a user presses Ctrl-Alt-Delete, a credential for the last logged on user is presented. This forces a new user to click the "Switch User" button. In our environment with shared computers, we would like the credential labeled "Other User" to always be the selected credential when no one is logged on. How can we make that happen? Is there a group policy setting or a registry setting? I suppose I could write my own credential provider and filter out the Microsoft credentials but I prefer not doing so.

Hi, Looks like this is rigth up your street http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/ff394947.aspx Local Policies\Security Options, Interactive Logon: Do Not Display Last User Name J

Thanks John! Right up my street and delivered right to my door. Here is an excerpt from the link you provided... start the Local Security Policy tool from the Administrative Tools menu or type secpol.msc at an elevated command prompt. Then, under Local Policies\Security Options, double-click Interactive Logon: Do Not Display Last User Name. Click Enabled, and then click OK. This worked perfectly.
