Is there a way to clear (set to a blank value) the "User name" field on the
"Change Password" dialogue window?
Specifically, when a user presses Ctrl-Alt-Del and clicks "Change Password",
the "User name" field is populated with the name of the currently logged on
user. I would like for the value to be blank instead, so that the user has
to type in his/her user name.
The reason that I want to do this is that we have workstations that are
shared by multiple users simultaneously and the workstations are logged into
Windows using AutoAdminLogin. The applications that the individual users use
on these workstations, however, require them to provide their Windows user
name / pw for authorization via security API calls such as LogonUser. In
order for them to change their passwords, they must press Ctrl-Alt-Del and
select Change Password. At this point, though, the autologin user name is
displayed. I would prefer this not to be displayed to avoid someone
acquiring the password to the auto login account and changing it (thus
locking out other AutoAdminLogin computers and probably causing the auto
login account to become locked out).
