Vista - Login Screen

Are we stuck with the new Vista login screen, where you have the last user
automatically displayed, or you select to choose another user?

This seems very longwinded, and as I work in a school the last user account
will simply be locked out after multiple login attempts. We use Xp and don't
show the last user login for that very reason.

Is there any way to change the login screen (in a domain situation) to be
similar to the XP method where you have to specify the user account yourself,
rather than clicking a pretty button!

Yes, this can be disabled. Here is the path in Group Policy:

Computer Configuration\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Local
Policies\Security Options\Interactive logon: Do not display last user name

Hope this helps!
