Hotfix installation information

Warning Serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly by using Registry Editor or by using another method. These problems might require that you reinstall the operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that these problems can be solved. Modify the registry at your own risk.

To change the display behavior of the user display name and of the user ID when the computer resumes from the locked state, change the value of the DontDisplayLockedUserId registry entry to 1, to 2, or to 3, as appropriate for your situation. To do this, follow these steps.

Note The default value of this registry entry is 1.
  1. Click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then click OK.
  2. Locate and then click the following registry subkey:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System
  3. In the details pane, double-click the DontDisplayLockedUserId registry entry.
  4. In the Value data box, type 1, 2, or 3, as appropriate for your situation. Then, click OK.

    Note The following values can be set:
    • 1 = Show the locked user display name and the user ID
    • 2 = Show the locked user display name only
    • 3 = Do not display the locked user information
  5. Exit Registry Editor, and then restart the computer.
