You might be able to fix this with TweakUI 1.33. Launch it from the
control panel and click on the "Paranoia" tab. Uncheck the box
labeled "Clear Last user at logon".

This is easy to set through group or local policy, however it can also be
done through a straightforward registry hack.
Look in:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon

And I think the value is called "DontDisplayLastUsername" - this should be
set to 0 to retain the last user name.
