I just did a brand new install of Windows 2000 and in the windows log in screen, it shows one other username. I would like to change that default to show another users name when the log in screen appears. Please help. Thanks

There is an option you can change, via the Registry, Tweak, or Control Panel that will clear the last username.

If you want a particular one to show, and you don't want it cleared, just login with that user, and that will be the one that comes up on the username after that user logs off.
