Don't display user name on a locked computer in Windows Vista/7

To make Windows Vista and Windows 7 not show the name of the logged on user on a locked workstation (e.g. to improve the security on your box), you have to set the corresponding local group policy.


Run secpol.msc in Administrator mode and navigate to Security Settings -> Local Policies -> Security Options and set the policy:

"Interactive logon: Display user information when the session is locked" to "Do not display user information"

That's it.
