Hide The Last User Who Logged On

If your computer is used by more than one user, then you might be using the old NT way to login. One of the major drawbacks with this structure is that a person can identify the last user who logged on to the computer. Now in Windows if you are the administrator, you can hide the last person who logged on your computer. These are again changing the policies of your computer. Here is the process

  1. Go to Start –> Run –> gpedit.msc
  2. Go to Computer Configuration/Windows Settings/Security Settings/Local Policies/Security Options.
  3. Look for Interactive Logon : Do not display last username, and enable that option.
  4. Next time when you will logon, you will see the User and Password fields as blank.
This tip is useful in case you don’t want others to know that who else used this computer, and if in case you want to know who used it, then you might not like to use it.
