Login names on the host machine after disconnecting from a Remote Desktop connection...
When I remotely login to my host machine (windows 7 pro), I login with my administrator level credentials. However, the person who is usually logged has only 'user' level access. When I log off, it has my admin login name and asks for my password, or it has an option for 'other user'. Is there a way to make it so when I log off, it goes back to having their info in the username box, and they can put in their info? Any help would be greatly appreciated! I know they could put in their info into the 'other user box', but they just want it streamlined.

This isn't exactly what you're looking for, but if you open Regedit and go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System, and change the "dontdisplaylastusername" value from 0 to 1, then it won't display the details of the last logged-on user. The downside is that all users will have to enter their username and password each time.
